1927 Hats
Description: Before there was a mouse, there was a rabbit, and his name was Oswald. Oswald the Lucky Rabbit was created in 1927 by Ub Iwerks for WDC. This familiar-looking rabbit was a precursor to the anthropomorphic rodent that would become known worldwide, but had the distributor of Oswald's earliest cartoons not surreptitiously claimed the rights to the character, guests at the most magical place on earth would be welcomed by a rabbit and not a mouse...
Description: A nostalgic vintage-style emblem inspired by classic heritage badges and old-school insignia design. Bold collegiate lettering arches above and below a circular celestial symbol, creating the look of a timeless crest. The starry cosmic center paired with a rope-style border evokes traditional patch artwork and retro emblem aesthetics. With its aged badge layout, classic typography, and subtle celestial theme, this design captures the spirit of vintage insignia and heritage-inspired graphic art.
Description: Sarasota is a city on the southwestern coast of Florida. The area is renowned for its cultural and environmental amenities, beaches, resorts, and the Sarasota School of Architecture. The city is at the southern end of the Tampa Bay Area, north of Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. In 1927 Sarasota became the winter quarters for the animals of the Ringling Brothers Circus and after nearly a century of calling the area home, you can find many landmarks in Sarasota are named after the Ringlings.
Description: Founded in 1927, Ben Franklin was a chain of five and dime stores found primarily in small towns throughout the United States. The stores were franchise based, with individual stores owned by independent proprietors, and are believed to be the first retail franchise. They are named after Benjamin Franklin, taking a cue in their merchandise offerings from Franklin's saying, "a penny saved is a penny earned."
Description: Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction drama film directed by Fritz Lang and written by Thea von Harbou in collaboration with Lang from von Harbou's 1925 novel of the same name. Intentionally written as a treatment, it stars Gustav Fröhlich, Alfred Abel, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and Brigitte Helm. Erich Pommer produced it in the Babelsberg Studios for Universum Film A.G. (UFA). The silent film is regarded as a pioneering science-fiction movie, being among the first feature-length movies of that genre. Filming took place over 17 months in 1925–26 at a cost of more than five million Reichsmarks, or the equivalent of about €21 million.
