Vintage 1940s Dobbs Fifth Avenue New York Red Carriage Hat Box � Iconic Fedora Box
Add a striking pop of mid-century Americana to your collection or decor with this original, vintage Dobbs Fifth Avenue New York hat box. Dating from the 1940s to 1950s, this iconic cardboard box features a vibrant, glossy red finish accented by a beautifully detailed, multi-colored Victorian horse-drawn carriage lithograph wrapped around the base.
The lid proudly displays the clean, authentic “DOBBS Fifth Avenue Hats New York” label. Inside, the box still retains its original white molded cardboard structural insert to cradle a classic fedora or trilby, along with its vintage black leather lid-securing strap.
Condition Notes:
This piece has wonderful, authentic character and presents beautifully for display. It shows honest, age-related wear, including rubbing, scuffing, and minor splitting along the perimeter of the lid rim and bottom base edges, exposing the tan cardboard core underneath. The lid shows warping from storage over the decades. Please review all photos closely to appreciate its genuine vintage patina.
Perfect as a standalone display piece for a retail storefront, a rustic closet styling accent, or to reunite with a period-correct Dobbs hat!
