    Odd New York Hatter’s Felt Trade Card/Holder in the Shape of a Hat.
    - - -
    DISCUSSION:
    An amusing trade ‘card’ or holder for something fashion-related, made of felt in the shape of a gentleman’s derby, with the hatter’s leather tag sewn on- “M.E. Weber - Gents Furnisher & Hatter - 780 Seventh Ave., New York”. The tag is slightly wider than the felt (doesn't show in this picture, but you can see that the left-hand sewing seems to go behind the tag, the edge of the tag is folded over), so that the felt & tag can be bent to form something like an old-fashioned napkin ring to hold- a handkerchief? Not sure, but meant to be utilitarian in some way for a gent's drawer or traveling bag.
    Probably 1900-1910. About 5”x4.5”. Minor wear.
