Incredibly rare Bes Ben pinwheel hat. A spiral of shaved black feathers radiate from a central off-white silk camellia with subtle hints of pink and green underneath. There are more feathers at the front and sides than at the back. <\/p>\n

It is designed to be worn on the top of the head so can fit any size. It secures with with two small combs plus has a cute elastic chin strap that can be worn or tucked up inside the hat if preferred.<\/p>\n

13.5 inches wide. 13 inches back to front.<\/p>\n

Designed by Benjamin B. Greenfield for his legendary company Bes Ben.<\/p>\n

Known as Chicago’s “Mad-Hatter” Greenfield designed some of the wittiest, wildest, most surreal hats known to millinery.<\/p>\n

Bes Ben hats are displayed in the costume departments of many museums worldwide.<\/p>\n

Condition is very good for it’s age. A bit of bending on some of the feather fronds. And on very close inspection one finds a few very light marks on the outermost edges of two petals. All shown in the photos and there is nothing that is obvious when worn.<\/p>\n

Signed: Bes Ben Made in Chicago<\/span><\/p>\n
