Interesting topic hard to search!!

Does anyone know much about straw horse hats, their history, and if they had a reign (ha, ha) of popularity? We were given one (along with that weird mystery object). It has fabric binding around the ear holes and long fabric ties to keep the hat on. Thanks for your thoughts!
