The consensus was that I could get real money from a vintage shop, or on www.Etsy.com, and I should brush them up, photograph them, and take the plunge. Someone had mentioned that people would pay $100 for something like that. Well, I checked out some vintage hats on there in good condition, and they go for $15 -$50, looks like.
*Sigh* I thought I had a month of rent possible from this, but don't think I'll do that well, even if all of them sell. Have a few pieces of clothing, too. Still worth doing. I have the name of the model who owned them, so that might be worth up to $5.00 more on something.
And it will teach me how to use Etsy, for when I finish some of my shadowboxes. So -- double value!
And thanks to those who suggested it, and are helping with it. I have an entrepreneur modeling for me -- exciting!
