Description

This dark chocolate brown leather bucket hat is a genuine head-turner, featuring a textured body, corded brim detailing, a small front button accent, and a gorgeous paisley-medallion fabric lining inside. A partially visible interior tag reads 'THE SHAPE WILL STAY LINED WITH REENA-' suggesting a structured, shape-retaining liner — this hat was built to last and clearly has. The sweatband is intact and the overall condition is remarkably solid for what appears to be a mid-20th century piece. A true vintage statement cap for the discerning collector or habitual hat-wearer.

This well-worn wooden shoe shine box comes loaded for bear — inside you will find multiple tins of shoe polish including what appear to be Kiwi and Meltonian brands, a large black horsehair buffing brush, a small metal cylindrical container, and at least one applicator brush tucked along the side. The box itself shows honest patina and wear consistent with decades of faithful service, complete with a brass latch closure. Everything a properly shod gentleman needs in one portable wooden kit.

Rounding out this handsome lot is a colorful assortment of long-handled brushes and accessories including what appears to be a solid brass backscratcher still in its original illustrated box labeled 'Solid Brass Backscratcher with Shoe Horn, Size 22 inches,' along with several shoe brushes with wooden handles, a tube of Meltonian brown shoe cream, and a purple-handled brush. A practical and characterful supporting cast to the star items in this lot.
