Don't see too many C & K boxes JB. Thanks for posting yours. So when did hatboxes move from round and octagonal shapes into square boxes? I'm thinking the 60's and picked up speed in the 70's when creativity was sacrificed to functionality. And JB - man I love that cinnamon lid!- Ephraim Tutt

Fantastic collection but Crikey! Wots that one on the left Buler? It looks like a panama made for the Elephant Man.- Ephraim Tutt

I'm guessing it's a thick cardboard - but I'll let you know (and post some pics in the Hatbox thread) when it arrives. Apparently it's silk lined.- Ephraim Tutt

Shudde Bros From the artful to the functional. This mail order box from Shudde Bros Texas containing my Open Road is postmarked June 9, 1961 - a very good year! It cost 0.58c to post. I gotta tell ya this box is like the hat - solid as a rock.- Ephraim Tutt

A couple of common Stetsons This is probably the most common Stetson box and was used by them in the later 50s and 60s. It was bound by a cotton strap that tied in a bow. I'm not sure when they started using this rather drab grey hatbox below. Its made of very thin card and is vastly...- Ephraim Tutt

Capper & Capper Chicago Churchill box - 1960's. It 'aint pretty - but it is dignified. Some boxes were produced by the manufacturer, others by the retailer. This is one of the latter - with a Churchill sticker.- Ephraim Tutt

Buler those are three magnificent boxes. Fantastic! I remember drooling over those when you posted them in the other thread. What do Rolls Royce boxes like that tell us about the company and its confidence in itself - and about the buyer?- Ephraim Tutt

You're right Billy. I have 3 different Stetson boxes and have seen lots more. Yet Dobbs and Knox maintained their famous octagonal boxes for ages. I wonder what the reason was for that.- Ephraim Tutt

They are often ignored and derided, sometimes treated as mere packaging and discarded, but the humble hatbox has a long history and is often a piece of social history, and a work of art in its own right. Got a hatbox or two dozen? Then this is the place to show 'em off. Rare ones and common...- Ephraim Tutt

Really Scott? I'm sure most of the regular Loungers would see the value of hatboxes as a piece of social history - and often a work of art - in their own right. Most of mine are of the common variety but I just bought an antique - or at least very early - Dobbs box that is a worthy thread...- Ephraim Tutt
