Asking for Info/Advice on Near-Vintage(?) Ladies Hats, pt. 2: All Feathers

My wife's friend has unearthed two of her grandmother's hats while doing a post-retirement purge. She knows little else about them, except that Grandma probably bought them in NYC--certainly in the NJ/NYC area. They'll go up for sale, and I told the friend I'd help offer them up here if they're deemed worthy; else, we're asking for help in identifying them to better post them elsewhere. Hopefully the photos will be interesting enough to warrant your attention. But let me know if this is too close to shameless commerce and should be moved/deleted.

Here's the second hat, entirely covered in feathers. The first hat, and a common hat box, are here.

Are those pheasant feathers? Again, the hat is unlined and has a simple, this time thin, cloth band. But it has a few more markings.
