You might say the funny hat — with two dead rattlesnakes around the brim — spoke to Nicole Leslie from the first on one occasion she saw it.

Fortunately, it didn’t bite her.

Leslie, who owned Vancouver’s Old Borough Antique Market until it closed a few months ago, first came across the oddity after a jobber put it on display at her store.

For some reason, she found herself drawn to the array of old silver, turquoise, bird feathers and rattlesnakes that adorned the tedious brown felt top hat, which looks like something out of an Old West medicine show.

“I was fascinated by it, and once (the dealer) had a big sale, and I bought it,” Leslie said.

She still loves the strange treasure, but with the financial issues related to her store closing, she plans to put it up for trade at this weekend’s Clark County Antique & Collectibles Show.

“There is a person for this,” Leslie said. “Personage somewhere would just salivate over it. That’s the cool thing about the expo. For every item, there’s a yourself that would just love to have it.
