Custom leather box, lined with burgundy velvet, measures 13' by 12" by 8" with brass fittings and original key. Locking device works and all straps and closures intact. Some superficial nicks to the leather and roughness to leather around handle. Some neatsfoot oil would cover in these nicks. The silk top hat, made for the hunts, is black with inside diameter of 7.5 and 6.5". General good condition with one nick on outside and some rubs to the silk. Also enclosed inside the box is an original bottle one quarter full with silk hunting hat cleaner with directions for use typed out on parchment paper.
