20s 30s Hat Display Stand Art Moderne Green & Chrome Shelf Edge VFG
These vintage hat display stands are so charming! They would have been used originally in a millinery shop or department store. The round base is stable enough to stand on its own, but the curving section that doubles back on itself allows you to slide it onto the edge of a shelf - it fits well on my 3/4" thick bookshelf.The curved edge knob adds a lovely pop of color.
DIMENSIONS:
Standing on flat surface - 9.25" tall
Diameter of base - 4.75"
Diameter of knob - 2"
MATERIALS: The knob is painted wood, with a light gloss. I have several colors - this one is light green, in a vibrant shade that remind me of early Fiestaware. The stand and base are one continuous piece of metal - presumably chrome plated steel.
CONDITION: the paint on the knob is intact, with a few small scuffs. The chrome of the metal stand and base is not a little dull, and the top side of reversing metal in the center of the base looks worn and a bit rusty. When I look closely, I see a subtle bend to the shaft - the price reflects this minor flaw.
The last photo shows the full array of colors - if you are interested in buying more than one, let me know so we can talk about a bundled price with combined shipping.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
