    Description

    This lovely vintage flat brim block makes a 5 inch wide brim with just a very slightly downward slope.
    Comes with a 1 inch removable riser, which is just slightly smaller than the 7 ¼ block --
    This block includes the mounting pins  which seem to be permanently in place (and firmly!) ... so this riser would help if you wanted to use a crown that does not fit the pin dimensions/distance.
    The mounting pins are six inches apart, from center pin to center pin.
    String Groove all the way around, in great shape
    Mounted on original feet -- the screws attaching the feet are a bit loose, might need to be tightened/adjusted

    definitely incur some oversize package charge, (that's why the shipping is so high)
