Early 1930's black sequin helmet hat. Sensational solid sequin helmet style evening helmet. Reminiscent of the helmet worn by Katherine Hepburn in 1933 "Christopher Strong" (see photo below). Sequined on tulle with full cotton sateen lining. Excellent condition, showing almost no wear. This was the ultimate flapper accessory and an absolute must for any hat collector. This is a fine quality and marvelous millinery objet d'art.
Approximate measurements:
22 1/2" - Inside circumference measured when elastic is fully stretched. This is a helmet and not a cloche type hat therefore the measurement is from forehead around the narrower nape of neck, not the fullest part of the head. This helmet fits a large 23" hat size.
Condition:
Excellent. EXTRAORDINARY! No missing or loose sequins. It's been used and there is a bit of light wear and soil, but it is hardly worth mentioning.
