A vintage novelty miniature top hat and its original oval presentation box from the American hatter Cavanagh. Originating from the mid-20th century, circa 1940s to 1950s, these miniatures were traditionally used as tokens for gift certificates, which recipients could exchange for a full-sized hat at a retailer. The miniature hat is constructed from a lightweight material with a highly reflective silver-tone metallic finish, featuring a classic top hat silhouette with a flared, curved brim. The oval presentation box is made of cardboard with a black flocked, velvet-like exterior. The lid and base are accented with gold-toned trim. The side of the box features gold-toned cursive script reading "Cavanagh Hats New York." Width: Approximately 3 to 4 inches.
