Color: Black; Gold; White
A top hat that belonged to William H. Workman, ca. 1900. The exterior has black fur and a silk band. Around the inside is a leather band and white silk lining. The maker's brand is on the bottom of the inside as well as "SPECIALLY MADE FOR / LOGAN THE HATTER / LOS ANGELES, CAL." Workman's initials are in gold below the latter. With light soiling, a missing section of the leather band, brittleness of the same band, and light wear, the artifact is in good condition.
