Strange white hat???
« on: February 24, 2013, 20:58:05 »
These two hats were in a lot my wife bought at a flea-market, I know the green one is an old "Western" one (I've seen it in yellow), but I don't know where the strange white one comes from...Anybody??? ???

I'd say it's a Victorian maid's cap.

Great and cheap find, Erik!
The white hat is indeed a maid's cap, and it is as unique as THE blue hat; it came only with the vintage set 3543 "aristocrats". The green hat you have there comes also with this set.

On the box' pic, the female klicky on top of the trunks is wearing the white cap, the gentleman in the middle wears the famous late 18th-century style blue hat.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

I have this set, my brother or sister had it. Sadly various things from it are broken/missing but at least not the hats.
