Genuine vintage solid wooden crown hat block. This is a single-piece utility model carved with an asymmetrical, sloped dome profile—perfect for blocking classic 1920s–1940s style cloche, toque, or tilt hats.

Features a deep built-in string groove around the lower band to secure blocking cords under tension. Clearly factory stamped "FRONT" for precise headwear alignment and anatomy orientation. An exceptional addition for artisan milliners or as a statement rustic industrial display piece.

Condition:
Excellent structural workspace utility patina with authentic historic pin markings. Note: The flat underside base features extensive historic woodworm channels. This piece has been closely monitored in a clean, climate-controlled home environment for the last 5 years with zero active shedding, fresh dust, or changes to the timber. The wood is completely dead, dry, stable, and 100% safe to sit alongside other timber or fine fabrics.
