Montauk Point Lighthouse

Inspired by an American Tradition

 Inspired by the early American paper party hats made famous by the Dennison Manufacturing Company, the Victoria William Collection celebrates the artistry and joyful spirit of these beloved vintage novelties while honoring America’s rich coastal heritage.

Each hat is individually handcrafted using archival-quality materials and features original artwork inspired by historic lighthouses, maritime traditions, and cherished seaside destinations. Designed to become keepsakes for generations, they are both works of folk art and celebrations of 250 years of American coastal living.

Each hat measures approximately 14” wide × 10” tall and is available in two editions:  individual hats may vary slightly  

Option 1 – Collector’s Display Edition

• Fully illustrated front

• Coordinating partially illustrated reverse

• Finished with luxurious satin taffeta ribbons for hanging or display

Option 2 – Classic Honeycomb Edition

• Fully illustrated front and back

• Traditional honeycomb paper insert, allowing the hat to be worn in the style of the festive paper hats popular during the early 20th century

• Finished with luxurious satin taffeta ribbons

Because every Victoria William Collection hat is individually handcrafted, production is intentionally limited. For orders of more than three hats, please contact me prior to purchasing so I can confirm availability and production time.

Proudly handcrafted in the USA.

Montauk Point Lighthouse

Commissioned by President George Washington in 1792 and first illuminated in 1796, the Montauk Point Lighthouse is New York’s oldest lighthouse and the fourth-oldest active lighthouse in the United States. Perched atop the dramatic bluffs at the eastern tip of Long Island, it has guided countless ships safely through the waters where the Atlantic Ocean meets Block Island Sound for more than two centuries.

A symbol of American perseverance and maritime history, Montauk Point Lighthouse has watched over generations of fishermen, sailors, and travelers. Today, it remains one of the nation’s most cherished coastal landmarks, preserving the enduring legacy of Long Island’s seafaring heritage and America’s historic coastline.
