Description

Vintage promotional / advertising for Paragon Hats in original box.
The felt fedora hat is about "4 x 3" and  2" high.
I have found these listed as a salesman sample.
The advertisement I found says it is 'chamois finished felt' 
It looks like a salesman's sample.  We have others listed, this is a different color with a different color band.  

Very good condition.
Paragon Hat Company was located on Franklin Street, Chicago 6, Ill. 
The logo was:  'Paragon Pete says: "Follow the 'trend' for a smart new hat!'
A few early 1940's Paragon hat ads are shown.
