I've got a hat box and a hat

The hat box is a vintage Marche, brown with dark narrow stripes. The hat is a fez, printed with Hathor No 3 Parkersburg, WV (red lettering), white with a red tassel, Mason, or Shrine.

I was going to put it in my booth, with 2 other hat boxes that are empty, that make a nice stack, but I don't know if I should sell the hat and box together or separately. Any thoughts?

Thank you.

The other hat boxes are empty

I will do a little research to see if Marche sold fez hats. If they did, I'd keep them together, but if someone put the fez in the box, because it fit, I could maybe sell separately.

Thanks for checking in

a collector of Masonic stuff would buy the fez.

I've been trying to get over my instinct to keep things as I got them
