Description
Prototype uniform hats in their original box. Two prototype British Red Cross women's uniform hats. The first hat is rounded with a brim and a wide red and white ribband and members badge. This ribband was considered too wide and so did not make the final uniform design. The second hat is slightly square in shape (similar to a 'pork pie' style hat) with a brim and plain red ribband. Hat box is oval with the name 'Grosvenor Boutique, 81/82 Grosvenor Street London W1.'
