Wonderful Vintage Dobbs gift certificate box with sample hat, made by Dobbs, Fifth Avenue, New York, a charming piece of mid-century advertising and hat-industry memorabilia.
Often collected and described as salesman samples, these miniature Stetson hats make fantastic display pieces for collectors of vintage advertising, western wear, menswear, haberdashery, department store memorabilia, and Americana.
Gift Certificate Hats were very popular in the 1930s – 1950s. A person would pay for a hat as a gift and was given one of these wonderful little hats/boxes to give to the recipient. The recipient would then go to the hat shop to get fitted for their hat and redeem the certificate. These are a delightful collectible!
