I only have two holders that came in hats. I don't think they were used much past WWII . You can see the Crease Holder from the above hat here .

There was / is a guy from Cypress selling a box of them on Ebay or Esty. He also posted here. Bob at BSHW bought a box also Josh.
I am going to renew my search, for my new "Regent" hat in the 1915 style, one will be just the ticket!! Thanks.

The two creases that I'm partial to are C crowns and Center dents. I've tried other creases, but I just don't care much for some of them. If I'm creasing an Open Road or some other fedora style from the mid '40s to early '50s era, I like C crowns. If I'm going for more of a '30s fedora style, or if I'm creasing a Western Hat I prefer the Center Dent. There were a ton of creases from those eras that I tried, it's just that I prefer the C crowns and the Center Dents over the others.

Here's a Resistol Stagecoach that I reworked with a Center Dent and a high loose pinch...

Here's another Resistol Stagecoach that I reworked with a Center Dent and a high tight pinch...I don't wear it much, though. I don't care much for the Chestnut color and it's a little snug on me.
