Label TextThis blue and green hat from Humphrys' Hats emphasizes the 20th century popularity of hats as accessories, and sometimes, focal points of an outfit. Milliner Constance Larkin Knight Humphrys (1895-1975) operated Humphrys' Hats. The same year she began making hats out of her home at 610 Princess Avenue, her husband Robert (1879-1938), a furrier, died. Humphrys continued to operate the business into the early 1970s.
