Antique top hat with original brown leather traveling bucket English 19th century

"D. M. Dunlop Hatter" antique 19th century English black silk plush gents top hat and original leather traveling bucket. The hat size is small to medium and to find the hat and the original traveling bucket with it is rare. It is becoming more and more harder to find them together let alone a top hat. The both together in very good condition can fetch from $900 to over $1000, This ones price reflects on condition and free postage, but even in this condition can fetch more than this price.

D. M. Dunlop Hatter would have been a hat department store in North Bridge England, and I assume suppler for the British Post. The bucket is in good condition, missing front leather strap and front lock piece. The interior fabric is a bit dirty, warn and missing inner holding straps. The top hat (despite being very rare) is in fair condition with some wear to bottom, top of rim, top rim of hat, fraying of fabric in inner lining of hat, separation of inner band and a dent on side of hat but all in all for the age of both are in good condition. Sourced within The Mornington Peninsula. Acceptable Vintage Condition. Very rare and highly collectible.

Approx size:
34cm W x 28cm D x 22cm H, 3kg.
