Description
This umbrella has been in the family many, many years. With the fabric very fragile and worn I had a new top sewn. I had the original ( I assume) loop and button that holds the umbrella together. The button is stamped 'Hirsh & Bro'. I found that company, Hirsh & Bro Umbrella and Parasol, in PA. during the late 1800's to early 1900's but could not find the exact dates the co. was in business. The business it was housed in was called the Gibson building in philadelphia.
