Description

This handsome Milliner's hat stretcher which dates from 1930 sits on it's wooden base that is fitted with a Reslaw Hats registered design name plate and also with a hat sizer chart.

Reslaw hats were produced in the 1930's and 1940's by Paul Walser & Co who were a top milliner in London.

This fine mechanical hat sizer has a large metal handle which when turned opens and closes the wooden hat section to adjust the size, has a wonderful dark rich patina and is a particularly nice example having both the milliner's name and the sizer chart.
