One of the many unusual and unique hats from **Ellen Kate's Closet - she had many hats! I can see this hat with short hair or topped on your head when wearing a loose low slung bun.

Listing does not include a hat box.
Tightly Woven straw hat. It appears to be real straw dyed yellow as it doesn't have that plastic coated feel to it. But there are no material labels on a hat of this age so I can only go by feel. It has a ribbon running inside around the brim which also indicates the age of the hat.
Topped off with one matching straw button.
Circumference: 24" exterior, 21" interior
5 1/8" tall
