We are offering an Antique Hat Stretcher (La Chapelière) French, circa 1920's (possible before but the Patented Date suggested the 1920's date), in stunning ALL original condition. Adorable. Lovely. A permanent display of style, taste, and class.
A marvelous display item as well as for pragmatic use. ALL original, un-restored condition! The width guide are in both metric system as well as in inches.
We conclude that this lovely item was
likely to be
handcrafted in the 1920's primarily on basis of the patented date (April 20, 1926 - Pat # US1581940 [copy of patent is for your reference only]). Note that all other similar hat stretchers currently on the market are cheap knock-off imitations of this genuine Patented original. Invest your money only on original antique which has not been restored. This will ensure future appreciation of value. Treat yourself with this once-in-a-lifetime investment.
It was made in France intended chiefly for American market (it has a USA Patent), which explains why the width guide are in both metric system as well as in inches.
Please note that some
unethical
online sellers
erroneously
identified as an item made during the Victorian period. Please use your common sense for possible dates of manufacture.
