2 vintage hat display buckets / advertising hat boxes, used by a hat shop or manufacturer to store, present, or advertise hats in-store rather than as everyday storage at home. The “Linney London HATS” wording and slogan suggest they were point-of-sale display pieces or shop props for a hat brand or retailer
What they were used for
• Displaying hats in a shop, especially as branded advertising containers.
• Possibly holding stock, hat forms, or promotional material behind the counter.
• The graphic style and repeated branding fit retail signage/display more than domestic use.
