Christmas Details Competition - Head Games

Christmas Details 2014 - There are 24 details to find this year. The theme is hats and headgear. I do not think the details are difficult to identify, so there will be no despair this year. Consequently, it is likely that there will be a large number of entrants with the all the correct answers. Arguably, that is in the spirit of Christmas. I won't be posting up the competition images while the paper is still on sale.

I noticed that the competition is online, so readers can go here to see the competition images:

The only other comment I have is that there are two paintings included which are by the same painter.

Another Detail that no-one could identify

It's happened again. This time no-one was able to identify a detail chosen by Jenny Gilbert (Competition 1224).

It was from Forging the Anchor by Stanhope Forbes

Jenny Gilbert states that "no correct solutions (or indeed guesses) came in".

I can only recollect one other occasion when this happened in Tom Lubbock's time. I suspect it partially reflects a lack of interest caused by the downgrading of the prize from champagne to prosecco. There is little incentive except for the personal satisfaction. I suspect many aesthetically visually erudite regulars have abandoned the competition.

One wonders if some Christmas cheer might emerge so that the Christmas Competition, shortly to be published, will once again reward any winning competitors with champagne?
