A white ceramic mug with "Hats Off to Beacon" in a clean vintage serif, framed by a stepped deco border with a small felt fedora above it. It honors Beacon's hat-making years, from the first factory in 1864 to the last plant closing in 2005, in forest green, rust and black.

The story behind this design. Beacon’s first hat factory began in 1864; the city grew to nearly 50 hat plants, with the final Dorel Hat Company closing in 2005. More in About Beacon
