Practical Hats

 

1947-48: Allied Occupation Zones Definitive Issue

Always good to have a hat to have shade in the sun whether sowing,

planting a tree
or labouring. Today in construction and definitely underground one might be required
1968: Swiss Accident Insurance
to wear a hardhat for protection.
1965: 25th Anniversary of Women's Army Corps
This does not look like a very practical hat

1986: Paintings

and neither does this but it is beautifully whimsical. 'The Violet Hat' by Cuno Amiet

Sunday Stamps theme this week is hats, headgear or helmets - See It On A Postcard

Practical and unpractical hats! The last one, at least, protects you from the sun :)

That 'Violet Hat' might be suitable for Ascot!
There certainly looks to be lots of bright sunshine in the first two German stamps.
