Post-Civil War Era Ladies' Hat, Fan, and Cameo Pin

1870
Beechland, Kentucky

Hat and fan date from between 1870-1880 that belonged to my great-grandmother, Nancy Emiline Milam Brown. They were probably worn/used for funerals or other occasions where black was most appropriate. The hat ties with a ribbon. The pin belonged to my mother, Corinna Brown Forgy and is an antique but I am not sure of the origin. Tags: Hat, Hand Fan, Pin, Vintage Ladies' Hat, Antique Hand Fan, Vintage Pin
