    Rare Vintage 1950's Schleisner Company Department Store Hat Box with Handle
    This Hat Box was Purchased at the Schleisner Company Department Store in Baltimore, Maryland.
    At the time this Department Store was one of a very few stores that offered credit to it's customers.
    Thanks for looking at my auctions.
    In the 19
    th
    and early 20
    th
    centuries, many Baltimore stores eagerly offered their customers credit, installment plans, and the like. Customers were typically known personally to the storekeeper, and their payments (or lack thereof) were tracked in ledgers, by hand.
    The Trade or advertising card for B. Schleisner’s store, 307 E. Baltimore St. looked like the one in the pictures.
