Undated hat design to keep pockets from being picked. The man has securely fastened his possessions to the brim of his hat. Upon slight pressure from the wearer, the top hat rotates and presents him with his scent box, monocle, hearing apparatus, bifocals, and cigar, which untouched by human hands, appears to have been miraculously lit. Fortunately, his nose extends far enough to sample the snuff. A top hat is a tall, flat-crowned, broad-brimmed hat, predominantly worn by men from the latter part of the 18th to the middle of the 20th century.
