Description
Myrtle
Westbrook
of
Ashley
,
Ohio
made
this
hat
from
buckeye
shavings
around
1890
.
It
is
18
inches
(45.72
cm)
in
diameter
and
4
inches
(10.15
cm)
tall
. The
buckeye
tree
,
Aesculus
glabra
,
is
the
state
tree
of
Ohio
.
Barton
Whipple
of
Stantontown
,
Ohio
created
a
hat
made
of
hickory
shavings
to
show
his
support
for
President
Andrew
Jackson's
reelection
campaign
in
1832
.
Jackson
was
known
for
carrying
a
cane
made
of
hickory
wood
. The
hats
proved
popular
,
convincing
Whipple
that there
might
be a
market
for
hats
made
from
wood
shavings
. He
discovered
that the
buckeye
tree
yielded
shavings
that were
more
pliable
, and
thus
easier
to
make
into
hats
. His
family
began
making
the
hats
and
selling
them
locally
.
Creator
Westbrook, Myrtle, 1868-1957
