Victorian Leather Double Top Hat Box

1920 - 1940
Description

An unusual example of a Victorian leather hat box designed to hold two top hats. The outer of the box is covered in a rich brown leather and is embossed on the top "C.T.M 60th Rifles". It has a leather carrying handle and brass lock plate.

Inside, the case is lined with a lovely red cotton and silk and elasticated straps for securing the hats. It has a top section for the first hat which lifts out and a further section below for hat number two.

The case is in good condition and has a lovely aged patina with just the right amount of wear to show that it has been used but well cared for. There are of course some minor scuffs and marks but nothing detrimental. We do not have a key and the leather strap that would go all the way around the outside is not intact and has worn through at the back. It has been cleaned and lightly polished and is a lovely decorative piece with a great history.

The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
