SOLD! (I can't seem to find the place to edit the thread title)

Hello folks! It's been a minute since I've signed on. For all of you milliners and hatters...

FOR SALE this fully functional hat stretcher, which has been in the family business for 6 decades.

Made of steel and wood. Crank turns smoothly.

It is in great shape, measures from 19" to 26" circumference when fully stretched and can hold a hat from a size 6 1/2" to a 7 7/8" and stands approximately 12-1/4" high, approximately 12" long by 7" wide. This is quite a heavy piece weighing approximately 15 lbs.

I will do my best to answer any questions. Thanks for looking!

That’s a beautiful stretcher! Does it have a slight taper down to the base?
