Description
A beautiful older
vintage, c. late 1940's - early 1950's,  fine woven palm straw Mexican sombrero in excellent condition.   Displays perfectly.   Authentic vintage Mexican 5X fine sombrero made by La Guadalupana / Alberto Chavez in the 1950s. This is a wide brimmed woven straw hat with four dimples on the crown.  It has the original fancy embroidered suede feeling hatband in excellent condition.  Shell on end of decorative element from band, plastic toggles. on chin "string".   Straw has a white-ish finish and is stiff by design.
The hat has a fabric lining with an eagle that says La Guadalpuna. The inner sweatband is in very good condition with just wear to the lettering.  Lining reads " Gran Fabrica, De Sombreros de Palma,La Guadalupana ,Alberto Chavez, Bolivar, 6 S, Sahuavo, Mich, XXXXX "
Beautiful pre-owned used condition with light age appropriate wear.  Coating on straw has age consisitent wear throughout-not excessive at all.  Chin string still present and all slides.  I vacuumed dust and gave it a gentle damp wipe down, any further ceaning up to new owner if desired.
Approx. 17" back to front of brim, 17" side to side of brim, crown nearly 5" at tallest.  Inner sweatband approx. 21" around.

Shipping
INSURANCE & DELIVERY CONFIRMATION (or Signature if over 0.00) is INCLUDED in the shipping & handling fee. Some items ship for a flat rate 1st class fee.  Otherwise see shipping calculator above for shipping cost to your zipcode, Priority or Parcel are options, which you choose at checkout.  I charge a small handling fee to cover or in most cases just help to defray the cost of packing supplies so that your item will arrive safely.   USPS Parcel shipping cost may be lower than Priority but PARCEL IS SLOWER THAN PRIORITY, it can take up to 2 weeks (10 business days) for delivery in some cases.  Shipping & handling costs is buyers responsibility.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:  I rarely ship internationally, when I do the following applies.   Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.  I do not mark merchandise below value on customs forms or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. I am not responsible for a timely delivery due to varying International customs delays.
