Hat Day
These beautiful hats are from the 1870s. I scanned these from a very old advertising booklet for Lord and Taylor
The cost of this hat was $3.75
the cost of this hat was $10.00
which actually seem very expensive for the 1870s. Wow...

Ten dollars in 1870 is about $170 dollars today - so yes, a pretty expensive hat.
ReplyDeleteI love hats. Actually that is good since I can't go outside without one in warm weather. Wish I could find pretty hats like these. Thank you for the digis. Edwina Brown
