For many years small hat-makers held up their spring lines until they could imitate the Dunlap derby. However, the demand for the style declined in the twentieth century and by 1918 Dunlap was acquired by Knox, though hats under the Dunlap name continued to be produced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15261662150745,"sku":"","price":425.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/products\/dunlap-and-co-beaver-skin-top-hat-and-leather-hat-box-by-collins-and-fairbanks-england-1.jpg?v=1539222138"},{"product_id":"copy-of-antique-full-head-wooden-hat-mold-c-1860-1922","title":"Antique German Personalized Hat Form c.1920","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn original German 1920's wooden wig maker's block\/form used in a New York wig studio with the original hairline patterns and name of the client.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCREATOR\u003c\/strong\u003e Unknown. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDATE OF MANUFACTURE\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1920s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES\u003c\/strong\u003e Wood. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e Good.

However, this changed in the early 1800s when wigs began to fall out of fashion. Hats now needed to fit to the true shape of their wearers' heads, so block-makers began carving their hat blocks by hand in a more oval shape.This opened up new possibilities for the shaping of hats. Soon there were many different styles in use, which changed and developed over the years.Hat blocks can be made from a single wood block or from several separate pieces which can be assembled in various ways to achieve different effects. These are sometimes known as 'puzzle blocks'.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30320623059033,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/products\/milinery-new-york-wig-studio-1920s-2.jpg?v=1570235743"},{"product_id":"firemans-helmet-c-1940","title":"Fireman's Helmet c.1940","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn authentic distressed red and white fireman's helmet.

They are usually carved from wood, but you can also find aluminum and poly blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHat blocks have been used in men's hat-making for over 200 years.Early hat blocks were made from wood turned on a lathe, making them perfectly round, which was fine if the hat was to be placed over a wig. However, this changed in the early 1800s when wigs began to fall out of fashion. Hats now needed to fit to the true shape of their wearers' heads, so block-makers began carving their hat blocks by hand in a more oval shape.This opened up new possibilities for the shaping of hats. Soon there were many different styles in use, which changed and developed over the years.Hat blocks can be made from a single wood block or from several separate pieces which can be assembled in various ways to achieve different effects.

However, this changed in the early 1800s when wigs began to fall out of fashion. Hats now needed to fit to the true shape of their wearers' heads, so block-makers began carving their hat blocks by hand in a more oval shape.This opened up new possibilities for the shaping of hats. Soon there were many different styles in use, which changed and developed over the years.Hat blocks can be made from a single wood block or from several separate pieces which can be assembled in various ways to achieve different effects. These are sometimes known as 'puzzle blocks'.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44254142988525,"sku":null,"price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/files\/antique-wooden-hat-stretcher-circa-1890-1920-4.jpg?v=1695943491"},{"product_id":"late-19th-early-20th-c-european-millinery-hat-stretcher-c-1921","title":"Late 19th\/Early 20th c.

They are usually carved from wood, but you can also find aluminum and poly blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eHat blocks have been used in men's hat-making for over 200 years. Early hat blocks were made from wood turned on a lathe, making them perfectly round, which was fine if the hat was to be placed over a wig. However, this changed in the early 1800s when wigs began to fall out of fashion. Hats now needed to fit to the true shape of their wearers' heads, so block-makers began carving their hat blocks by hand in a more oval shape.This opened up new possibilities for the shaping of hats. Soon there were many different styles in use, which changed and developed over the years.Hat blocks can be made from a single wood block or from several separate pieces which can be assembled in various ways to achieve different effects. These are sometimes known as 'puzzle blocks'.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S16 Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50397675520237,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/files\/antique-millinery-hat-block-1.jpg?v=1785866354"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0018\/9425\/2633\/collections\/s16-home-antique-post-office-desk-firemans-hat-2.jpg?v=1582414232","url":"https:\/\/s16home.com\/collections\/hats-helmets.oembed?page=3","provider":"S16 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
