General notes

Sun visor with cotton fabric ties, c. mid 20th century.

A curved brim of cream, translucent plastic or celluloid attached to a piece of pale blue patterned cotton fabric which covers the crown of the wearer's head. The fabric extends into widths to tie at the back to hold it in place. The cotton fabric is printed with a small blue, red and white flowerlike motif. All edges are trimmed with a dark blue bias tape. There are no manufacture labels present.
