Seeking Thread - Old Hats w/Money Stored Inside

[Metro Retro]

Hello:

I know that this is a long shot, but am hoping that someone can help me find a thread that I ran across last week on the site, about storing and finding money inside of Vintage Hats.

It included a newspaper clipping from 1911 I believe (or around that time) which mentioned a hotel tossing out men's hats, where money and stamps had fallen out, which had been stored in the interior sweatband.

I'm sorry for so few clues -- I don't remember the date of the posting or the name of the poster, and I've been searching the site using a variety of keywords without success. Thank you for any/all help.
