I have a bucket style rabbit fur hat, it has the label with the hand shake. My question is , my hat has a white label with Doris Designer on it, who is Doris? How can I find out about that part. Thanks

In your article How Union Labels Help to Date Your Vintage Clothing
July 27th, 2012

WHEN USED: 1934-1983

LOOK FOR … “United Hatters Cap & Millinery Wrks” on top of a globe and handshake design with “Int Union” below.
The key difference between this label and older versions is a production number (“785641″) and IN U.S.A. with a small “6″ next to what looks like a squished globe.

DOES THIS MEAN THE LABEL WITH THE PRODUCTION # IS FROM THE 1930′S ???????

Thanks for any help you can give me. I have a wide brimmed tilt hat with a union label – “United Hatters Cap & Millinery Wrks” with the production # – 794814

- I read your comment below but not sure how to date the hat since the production # is different than you give below?
