Original top hat and cardboard box circa. 1890 - £50! Not that good eh, but listen to this, it also comes with the original cape that was in the box with the hat. I've never come across one of those before! I don't think the seller knew what he had. He listed it quite badly and only a few people spotted it. |

:-) I've got 3 hats now. Started to collect them. They'll never get used properly though unless I win the lottery. Fingers crossed. |

Sorry Daniel, but I had to laugh when I read your thread, maybe you could wear it to one of our next 'meet up', at least we would recognise you, and maybe you could do some 'tricks' for us lol......sorry, just thought it was funny, shouldn't laugh really lol......Lilly |

A few people laughed when I brought the first one. Don't know why :-) If I do ever make it to a meet I'll wear them and bring a pack of cards and a rabbit too! |

Daniel, How fabulous, do you know to whom it belonged and how old it is? Perhaps there is a history to it, it would be fascinating to know. Sue |

I'll have to ask. The one I'm wearing now (It's True!) Has the initials GWW in gold coloured letters in the middle. I wonder who he was? What he did? All very fascinating to me. |
