1940s or 1950s Gray Halo or Tricorn Hat with Veil a la Elizabethan Age

A beauty from the late 40s/early 50s! Gray halo hat in rayon, the brim is high off the forehead and split into two sections - very Elizabethan but also very Mickey Mouse :) ! 
It's more like half a hat since the "back" of it rests fairy high on the head. There is a large, gray veil falling across the front of face. Interior has a hair comb at front and store label at the rear as we as the usual petersham trim. 

label: blanch's millinery. Exclusive. 2543 1/2 East 75th St Chicago

Condition: very good with no issues to the hat other than some breaks in the netting as is typical for hats this age.
