Vintage ...

... if that means "old"!
Yes, it is a hat box! And yes, there are more pictures!

And I've written to Harrods to see if they can give me some idea of the "vintage"!

This must be a leather hat box. It certainly looks old. Nice capture.

[Cherrill]

I was wondering what qualified for 'vintage'....Is there a top hat in there? Or something connected with the church? You've got us guessing now!

[Rhonda Taormina]

That IS a very unusually shaped box. Don't leave us hanging! Is it a hat box? Very interesting, nonetheless.

[Joe Ciras]

You do not see too many leather boxes around these days.

[Beverly Moolman]

Wow what a beautiful old hat box. Great shot

[Mrs. Smith]

Beautiful details and texture! I like this!

[Elizabeth Hanna]

@vernabeth Yes, top hat.

[Elizabeth Hanna]

@Cherrill Yes, top hat.

[Elizabeth Hanna]

@superdex Yes, top hat.

[Elizabeth Hanna]

@cirasj No, and this one could do with a good bit of polish. Top hat inside.

[Elizabeth Hanna]

@betterflea Thank you ... top hat inside.

[Elizabeth Hanna]

@mrssmith Thank you ... now I need to polish it and brush the hat inside.

[Howard Steele]

wow I haven't seen one of these in years.Nice one Elizabeth

[Karyn Romeis]

Your hatbox and my suitcase from my shot today would look great together!

[Tanya]

what a beautiful piece...love its texture...thanks for sharing such a treasure.

[Diane Owens]

How interesting! Nice shot.

[Karen Hurd (hwy61)]

Oh, how interesting...do you collect hatboxes? You need to post a photo of the top hat for another theme entry. Do you like to wear hats? I heard that Princess Beatrice's crazy hat raised big money for a charity! (Now, that was one very strange hat, wasn't it?) http://bit.ly/knfpn7

[Trina P Holub]

That's gorgeous! I clicked on your link to see the rest of the shots...that hat is in terrific shape! I hope you can find out how old it is. :-)

[Constance Brinkley]

Beautiful hatbox and your pictures on your blog really show the beauty of this case and the hat. Nicely shot.

[Yoella Offir]

Well this looks really like hitorical object.

[Rick Schies]

That is so neat, at first I thought it was a vintage fishing creel.

[Janna Ellen]

That's beautiful! I'd love to hear the story it has to tell ;)!

[bruni]

Wow that's older than me...never seen one like it.. usually they are round.. would be nice to find out the year..or should I say century??

[Dora Mendes]

I like this very much.
