Description

A vintage milliner’s wooden hat stretcher by C. Krebs, Albany, a classic and beautifully made shop tool from the era when every hatter and milliner relied on these to size, block, and gently reshape fine felt hats. This example has the elegant, smooth turned hardwood body with the warm patina that only decades of careful use can produce, and the C. KREBS – ALBANY stamping is clear and well struck.

A wonderful, display‑worthy piece of millinery history and a functional tool for anyone still working with traditional hat forms.
