This is an extra long, rayon elastic band created to hold shallow crown hats on a woman's head. It is still attached to the cardboard label, which indicates that it was of the "Jewel" brand. The cardboard shows the picture of a woman wearing a very small hat with flowers on it, and the elastic is holding it on her head. The directions are as follows "Insert prongs through lining of hat band close to edge at each side of hat - then give elastic a slight pull."
