No Ma'am, I only have about a dozen bodies and I'm not at all sure this will sell. Historically rust isn't a big seller for me, although I love it. From an investment aspect, "off the rack" will stay with greys and browns to start with as they are the highest selling colors. Gotta keep the...- Art Fawcett

Buying hat blocks--what does one need to know?
Tall westerns are often made custom Michael, domed much more that 52s. I never liked the tapered crown so never persued them but do have a few with 962 on them. No, as far as I know you can't pad out a reg oval to long oval. I've just taken the time to collect them over the years. What is...- Art Fawcett

Buying hat blocks--what does one need to know?
The # 52 was most common back in the day but don't be fooled, anything ending in 52 is the same block ( 952, 852, etc.). Don't pass one up if it works for you but I sincerely doubt that they were built long oval. Those carried other numbers I believe- Art Fawcett

Buying hat blocks--what does one need to know?
Should be 23 to 23 1/8 for correct fit. There can always be slight overages and still make it work but in an ideal situation it should be no more than 3/8 " bigger than the ID of the sweat- Art Fawcett

Photos of hatters tools
Try calling Graham Thompson of Optoimo Bruno. I sold him 2 a few years ago along with manuals. Maybe you will be better than me with them. I owned them for years and failed to get a single sweatband in without breaking threads. I gave up after months of sitting in front of it. Confounding things- Art Fawcett

If you use one 1" bigger than you need Doug, you'll end up with a reverse taper. 23 3/8 sweat = at most, 23 3/4. The sweat should take about 1/4-3/8" more OD to sit right- Art Fawcett

Buying hat blocks--what does one need to know?
It's been my experience that the markings on the blocks are often wrong, as you are experiencing. Best rule of thumb, use a block 1/4" bigger than you need for the hat. Pay no attention to the sizing on the block itself. As you can see, Beaver brands liked more room in their 7 1/8 , what...- Art Fawcett
