here's a side angle...it's hard to see, but it's a bit more narrow at the top, which is why I thought it may be for shaping hats...
Please let me know if you have any idea wth it is and/or if you have a use for it...
I don't really have time to research it or ebay it...I like woodcrafts...but it's just taking up space and I have no idea what to do with it.
