Old top hat box

Hello, I am selling the top hat, with its box, shown in attachment. It is a French manufacture from the beginning of the 20th century ("veuve manner" in Niort for the hat, "e.laseau suck" in La Rochelle for the box). The hat has several dents (photos 2/3) and the interior headband is slightly unstitched. There are also some marks/stains and dirt. The box is in good general condition, traces of use and stains, shock under the bottom. Note that the name of the previous owner is noted on the box and that his initials are sewn into the hat.
