This is the price of the hat. The sign is "10/6" which is pronounced "ten and six". In the old style of counting British currency this is 10 shillings and sixpence. There were 20 shillings to the pound, and 12 pence to the shilling, so 10/6 is equivalent to 52 and a half pence in today's decimal style.

It's what it cost, in British pre-metric money.
10/6 = ten shillings and sixpence
