    Description

    In all my 40 years of collecting, I feel this is one of the prettiest G.H. Hodge hats ever.   Darling hat is liberally covered in sweet purple violets with long pale purple stems, laid over a pale blue satin, very inventive in the way Hodge laid these over the hat to create movement.   And it has its original oval (not round) Hodge hatbox with pink satin long rope handles for carrying.  In front is a face veil that has two patterns, and is real French silk veiling.  Blue lined interior, the hat and box are well preserved, fresh and clean. Label is G. Howard Hodge, Original, New York.  The hat is even prettier in person than it looks here.
    A hat for the serious millinery collector.  Too pretty to hide away, makes a lovely display too!  And scarce to find with its original box.  Thank you!
    Please ask if you need more details.  NO RESERVE
    I show the hat on a full sized millinery head, the head is not included.
    Thank you!
