1950s HATTIE CARNEGIE Black Velvet Hat w/large Bow In Front Nice. Hattie Carnegie 1889-1956 was born Henrietta Kanengeiser in Vienna Austria.  In 1900 she immagrated to the US and settled with her family. In 1909 she and her friend Rose Roth opened their own business a tiny Hat Shop called "Carnegie Ladies "Hatter". Hattie did all the hats. She bought Rosie's share in 1919. Hattie died in 1956.  The business remained open until 1976 run by her husband.  The label in the hat is a 1950s label. The hat has two combs in elastic on the sides. The Bow measures 9" the inside of the hat is 7" x 7".  I purchased this at a prominent estate sale in Morgantown WV. Thanks for looking.
