An American Stock Exchange (AMEX) visor worn by Melvin Van Peebles while directing. The 3” visor brim is made from cream colored cotton on the top side and green cotton fabric on the underside, with a layer of stiff plastic in between. A panel of 3.25” high cream-colored cotton makes up the visor band and there’s a panel of white cotton sewn to the top. In between the two layers of cotton, is a layer of foam. [XCI / XOI / AMEX OPTIONS] is printed in green text across the front of the band on the white cotton panel. The visor tightens in the back with two white plastic slide adjusters. A small white tag stitched to the back of the hat band has black printed text that reads [C. V. Cotton].
