In an eye-catching bright salmon or coral colored silk, this cloche dates to the Roaring Twenties.  This style was introduced in about 1923 and this marvelous Flapper hat has all the style elements, including an Art Deco hammered gold tone metal hat pin!

Constructed of taffeta with a patterned band of a heavier weight fabric that seems to have a slight shimmer in some of the threads – possible metallic threads? – over a buckram type material.  It is decorated with two squares of salmon taffeta set corner-to-corner and edged with a bias band of the contrasting fabric.  To accent the corner-to-corner squares a gold tone metal hat pin, that might be original to the hat, has been placed across.  The lining has “The Beatrice Hat” by D.B. Fisk & Co. of Chicago label.
