This old hat form is  made of laminated basswood and shows the marks of use from long ago at a hat factory. It is marked Midwest H.B.&D. Company Chicago.
      There are numbers that don't correspond to what size the hat would be : 22 and 796.  There is also what looks like an "F" stamped near the bottom edge.

  Measures roughly 8" tall and about 6"and 7 " in the widths. The holes in the base would have required some interesting engineering to bore and show tool marks from some kind of large cutter.

     there is a remnant of a sticker on the base I didn't bother clean off.
Buyer pays cost of USPS Ground Advantage.    International buyers welcome.   I pack carefully and use recycled materials when possible.

          I would be happy to answer any questions or send more photos. Returns are allowed if my description wasn't accurate. Seller pays return shipping.
       
I am happy to combine shipping if you wish to purchase more than one of my items.
    
         Please watch my auctions for other tools, especially woodworking items, paper, books, occasional bottles and who knows what else....
