APPRAISER

In Peking in the summertime, it's 115 degrees-- very, very hot. And any of the officials used to come off, and the second they would come off duty, they'd be, you know, sitting down. They take their hats off and put them on these to cool them down. And sometimes they even had ice in the bottom of them. They're probably early 19th century.
