30's suit hangers. No curvature in the shoulders?

[Atterbury Dodd]

Hello,
I was just looking at my 1937 Sears catalog, and none of the suit hangers seem to have any shoulder curve to them. Here is a picture of an old one I found on eBay once (at the top of the picture) :http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280137563778&sspagename=ADME:L:RTQ:US:1

So, were there any hangers with curve to them in the 30's-40's, or did the thicker weight suit fabric used then require less support?

Can't wait to find out, I know were to get some of the old hangers cheap. Just got another 30's suit and I need a hanger for it, but I want to treat it right for its age.

I don't know about vintage hangers, but I would say you should use some that are curved and flared to fit the suit's shoulders. That will be best for your suits, no matter what era they're from.
