Lot 92                1926-1927 Beistle Cat Domino Band Hat Mask
Beistle issued four designs of these Domino Band Hat Masks during the 1926 and 1927 seasons. They then eliminated the band hat and reissued the same four designs as Domino Masks for the 1928 through 1931 seasons. (Please refer to my blog post from February 14, 2023, for more information.) The Domino Band Hat Masks are exceedingly rare. I suspect they were not strong sellers as very few have made their way onto the secondary market. This is the cat design. Note that the design is printed directly onto the band hat. It isn’t stapled or glued – but all part of a unified design. The colors are bright. The orange honeycomb interior of the band hat is completely intact. The band hat is tight, indicating that this was almost certainly never used. (I didn’t photograph the interior as I didn’t want to open the hat for the first time ever.) The hat measures ~8” high by ~11.5” across.
