Disney? As in the Happiest Place on Earth?
Being not too far from Anahiem, I immediately thought of Walt. Mickey and and 7 dwarves. What is the history of these Disney Hats?

Mr. Disney's Hats...
I can tell you a little. It was a New York hatmaking company that was around for a lot of years. I've got a blonde Disney "Robin Hood" Twenty that's one of my favorite hats (that's it in the avatar). And here's the ad Disney ran in the Aug. 1943 issue of Hat Life.

Nice lids, Nick and Snrbfshn!
I have seen some boxes that were labeled "Mr. Disney" - can I correctly I assume it's the same company???
I have heard that it was a high-quality lid, but it seems that there were a LOT of good ones back in the day...
