Vintage Rare Lion Hats Native American Western 1960'S Langenberg Co. Sz 7 3/8 - $140 - (Greenville, NC)

This is an extremely rare Native American Western style hat (custom made) by Langenburg Hat Co. of St. Louis, Missouri. The felt is chocolate brown. The crown is 5", 3 1/2" brim, 1" brown grosgrain ribbon w/bow and attached feathers and beads. 3/8" grosgrain ribbon bound brim edge. This hat is in very good to excellent vintage condition. There are no moth divots or holes, no tears, liner is in pristine condition. Only faults, one small stain on grosgrain edging on brim and 1" detachment of sweatband near the lion hats logo(see last 2 pics). The sweat is supple with no tears or cracking . I was told, but I cannot confirm that this hat was given to a tribal chief. Others more knowledgable about the feathers would open some light on this .
