Nice collection of wooden hats.
The one with the brim looks like a bowler hat, similar to what Curly from the 3 Stooges would wear.

I believe the one with the silver finial is Moro.

The flatter ones are salakots. Although this is a Tagalog word for "hat", they are limited more to hats that are not helmets.

Yes the ones with faces are Igorot helmets.

Nice assortment.
