John, nothing on his etsy site, just a message under construction with what looks like a drawing of the Hindenburg!

Of course ... caster wheels! Thanks John! Maybe we should rename them "castor" wheels for this purpose
Gentlemen and ladies, Dylan's email address is: aerialcopper@gmail.com, and he has authorized me to share it with you. He's advised me he's going to be away from home for a week and plans to start stitch awl production when he returns.
The time is ripe.

Mine was ordered last week….if it works 1/2 as good as it looks…it will be leaps and bounds over the one I have now!
Check these out on eBay. I bought them. 500 should last me until I retire from my present career & become a real hatter ;-)

Here's one I found advertised as a tip stand after a lot of searching. The dimensions look a lot closer. Your thoughts?

John: Again, from my collection is the Handy Hatter and two bottles of Luton's straw dye--not quite the same as the one you showed. Also, as far as the tip stand is concerned, it could be a tip stand by a different manufacturer but I always thought that the piece that goes inside the hat should be wider so you could iron the top of the hat.

Someone a while back asked for a photograph of a flange stand. Here is one I have--they also made them in open-sided versions. Hope this helps.

Great packaging on those dyes and 'Handy Hatter' - thanks both for sharing them.
Luton is still the straw hat making centre for the UK, presumably that's why the 'Luton' dyes were named that way...

ManoKent I have a book called "Luton and the hat industy" by Charles Freeman printed in 1976.
Hatter4, I love your posts! Here is an open style flange stand. This was purchased from a man whose grandfather and father were both hatters, and who grew up helping out in his father's shop. The stand is a George Bros., purchased by the grandfather for his son in 1951 as part of the startup investment in the latter's shop.

These are called edge irons. Left to right - first one has no manufacturer's mark but it says 1/4" edge; the middle one "Drake Engineering Co. 3/16" edge; and the right one is manufactured by M. Mirren, NY - 1/8" by 3/16".The other photo is a side view of the middle one.
