Heads

Set of 4 Early 20th Century Hat Makers Heads

Made from Papier Mache and supported by pine wooden blocks at the base, these highly unusual or even macabre hat makers forms have most certainly a spooky and distinctive look. Covered in pin holes and old weathered material. With old, measured stitch marks and even eye placements, they would have at one point helped a wig or hat maker measure and hold tailer items. Uncovered from a private collection in Wales earlier this month.
