parbuntal straw hats

Oliver, I think Banky is right about this - at least that's been the consensus regarding the other blocks like this. It is most certainly a straw hat body - I have several blocks like this, and have no doubt. Finding a vintage flange in this size might prove difficult. I'm sure they are few... -
Does this Levis Leather Trucker fit me???
