    Wooden hat blocks from the late 1920's.
    Back when hats were like iPods are today..OK- not even iPods any longer.
    Everything is going on one device these days. I'm an old iPod Classic holdout. I don't have room for 6,000+ songs & movies on my phone..

    Anyway- These were for reshaping hats after they were cleaned back in the hat days of old & they have different sizes stamped into the rims & the blocks.
    These particular ones are stamped Eastern Woolen Co. Omaha Neb. and the rims have 1928 stamped on the edges as well.
    I also included a photo of the hat stretcher that I happen to have with this set. These were all in my parent's old dry cleaners. Before they had it, there were hats being cleaned there.

    They display well & look like a wood hat when hung together on the wall.
    I have 4 nice complete sets & 2 extra rims that have cracks.
    Fun conversation pieces..
