I was helping my friend move her mom out of the house she's been living in
for 40 years and we came across her dad's old school hat. He was born in
England in 1919, so the hat is probably from about 1929 or so. It is made of
wool, half black or dark navy and half white (now yellowed a bit from age).
Even the button on top is half dark and half light! It has a crest on the
front. My friend says her dad attended Spring Grove Secondary Modern School,
in Houndslow. It has a label inside reading,"Warren Bros. Hatters and
Hosiers, 247 High Street, Houndslow". It also says, "Unbreakable Rubber
Peak", but the rubber is a bit crackly now. The hat is fully lined with a
yellowish twill.
My question is, would anyone want it? My friend was going to throw it in the
garbage, but I thought someone on this list might be interested.
