Hat Conformateur Allie Maillard Rebuilt​

$7,500
This Allie Maillard Hat Conformateur is from Paris, France, made the late 1800's. This conformateur is a rare and valuable working antique and has been completely rebuilt, piece by piece, yet still shows the character of age with very few minor imperfections. This Conformateur is in working order and ready to use. The brass parts are all individually polished. The top flap and base ring are covered in very thin naugahyde. It is adjusted and calibrated, but may need to be adjusted a bit more depending on the formillian you use with it. There are NO broken keys and NO missing parts. There are literally hundreds of hours spent on this restoration, as one can see. The first one I rebuilt some 35 years ago sold to the world famous, Lock & Co. Hatters of London and can be seen pictured on their web site. With its unique historical significance and artistic craftsmanship, along with the restoration this is a very sought-after item for collectors, enthusiasts, and hatters. Please message me with any questions you may have. Thank You Sincerely SHIPPING NOTE: I will double box and use lots of bubble wrap, but please consider adding Shipping Insurance.
