Two Mistakes at This Hat Counter: Answer

Did you get it right?

This department-store hat counter shows hat boxes, tissue paper, gloves, a mirror, and handwritten sale cards. Two small retail details are too modern.

Two Mistakes at This Hat Counter: Answer

The Answer

The correct answer is: The clear plastic tag fastener on a hat brim and the peel-off adhesive label backing on a hat box are the two mistakes..

Here is why

  1. The hats, boxes, tissue paper, gloves, and mirror fit the 1960s counter.
  2. One hat has a clear plastic tag fastener.
  3. One hat box has peel-off adhesive label backing, which is the second modern clue.

Why people miss it

A hat counter naturally has tags, labels, boxes, tissue, and small price cards, so modern tag hardware blends into the display.
