20s Vintage Hat Display Stand, Green Painted Decorated VFG 40s style rectangular accent on the toeboxVintage hat display stands were most often used in a millinery shop or department store, but some might have sat in a lady's dressing room showing off a special hat. This hat stand has the look of an earlier piece, probably 20s vintage. It may have been hand made as opposed to commercially produced. It is wooden, painted a dark green except for the legs of the base. The two "knobs" are the same size the bottom one has four narrow wooden dowels added
