AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In all hat shops, they had a device that allowed them to determine the size of a hat accurately. When someone wants to gift a hat and also wants to get the size right, they have two options: either measure the future user's head or, if they have a headwear item, bring it to the hat shop so it can be measured with this peculiar device.

A true hat shop will always have some.

The photographs show a model from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
The measurement in centimeters and inches, and it is made of brass and wood.
