Super Rare 1880s Spoon Top Conformatore
About the Item
This is a wonderful example of 1800s inventiveness. We believe this is American made and ie signed and dated 1888. This is only the second example we have ever found. We will only sell this because the other head sizer is in our museum collection already. It can copy the shape of a head and lock in place to transfer the pattern for a hat maker. In the 19th century this type of device was considered a baldness cure. It was thought that anything restricting blood flow to the scalp could cause baldness... even an ill-fitting hat. Its all original showing a nice aged patina.

- Rare M4 Leather WWII Horse Gas MaskLocated in Peekskill, NYM4 US Government Army Issue World War II, vintage 1941-1942 Horse Gas Masks are very scarce. Due to the large size, most were discarded after the war. Occasionally, one will pop up, but most are incomplete or in poor condition. The M4 Horse Gas Mask has 2 large filter canisters, one placed on each shoulder of the horse. It has a chest mounted pack, and a rubber mask for the horse's muzzle. Flexible hoses run between the components, and leather straps keep everything secure to the horse. Horses (Cavalry) and Pack Mules were not as common in WWII as they were in WWI, making the Horse Gas Mask all the more rare. If you are a serious gas mask collector, consider the chance of finding another M4 Horse gas mask. Included is the signed canvas...Category
