Description
Miniature oval Stetson hat box made of tin with Christmas scene and red lid decorated with stars. Miniature hat boxes such as this one functioned similarly to gift certificates. Each miniature represented a Stetson hat, or hats, in a particular price range. As Stetson hats were custom-fitted to an individual's head, a miniature would be given as a gift, and later exchanged for a full-sized Stetson from the given price range.
