While NOT technically HAT ads.....they are really cool.....and I would guess inspired many to get the hat pictured to go with their cigs..........,.,
The first with the Optimo Straw is 1938, the second with the "Whippet" style hat is 1949.
Best,

In the first ad, 1938 for Lucky Strike, the model seems to have a resemblance to Ronald Reagan. We know he modeled for magazine ads in his early days, so I wonder...
 
Back to the list......here is a glass Dobbs Candy dish....1950's or 60's.....sort of a nice reddish brown.....lid has the "Golden Coach" on it..... inside of the bottom is "DOBBS HATS" ....no other markings.
