I have two of these in very good condition for sale if anyone is interested - these make great display stands for helmets.
Here is one, it has a nice marking underneath from a French outfitters circa 1900:
The red stamp of the shop is under the wood block "Samaritaine, AY, Paris"
There is also the number "18" in big script letters and the number "55" in small pencil script letters (size ??)
The hat form is made of three layers of wood (see photo 4) and is in good condition apart from stains and light scars of different sorts (small knocks, biro pen, etc...) (they are visible on the photos)
Height : 15,2 cm
Width : 15,5 cm
Length : 18,8 cm
Its on EBAY right now number:
