I don't know either, but you can email me if you'd like. I was just in between jobs here. You can find a 52 block, I'd bet on it.Thanks! This is very helpful. I am waiting for the seller to send me some further photos and to remeasure the block in question. It has a '22' embossed in the block but she says that it measures 22.5 inches (7 1/8). If it comes out my size on the block, it may work, and if not, the duffer cap may work (I think I read about that in the 1919 hatting book, but your explanation is much clearer!). Cost is about 75 but I am in the UK so the chances of finding a 52 block here are probably slim, unless I buy a modern repro (there are several manufacturers here) but that will cost north of 120.
We should move this exchange to the "buying a hat block... " thread, I don't know how.
