Nice Old Solid Wood Hat Block with Orange Spot (One Split) windows purchased in Pennsylvania this summer

purchased in Pennsylvania this summer and which I needed to live with for a bit

Good condition with some craquelure to the varnish

but there is no hole in the end to receive the needle

just dripping with handmade love

Nice Old Solid Wood Hat Block with Orange Spot (One Split) windows purchased in Pennsylvania this summerI see a fair number of old hat blocks around of various sorts and am not often compelled to buy one, but the wood on this one is really beautiful, and its form satisfying like geometric solid blocks, and then this round patch of orange on the top that really makes it for me. There's an old split down one side, but from the other direction it is perfect and really quite a lovely and satisfying thing. 8" t x 6 5 8" diameter at base.
