Hello everyone. I was recently given a faimly heirloom and told of its rich history. A relative of mine was a hatmaker from the 1940s-1960s. Her name was Gilda Casanova. I'm told she made some of the bonnets in Gone With the Wind. The hat I was given is made by Gilda and designed by John Fredics. (The label says his name). The hat is a pearl beret with a feather in it. I was wondering if anyone knew about antique hats and could tell me if I've got something here. I am not looking to sell it, just to appraise it so the rest of my family can know. Any information could help me.
Thank you,
Annie
