Adjustable Double Groove Hat Makers Iron This is a rare hatter's shackle that has an unusual adjustment mechanism. One groove is fixed, uniform in width, and looks pretty standard. The second groove is moveable and has a really odd shape / configuration. It's adjustable in width and the depth slopes from something at one end to nothing at the other.......perhaps for the brim of cowboy hats? Be sure to look at all the pictures. Very nice!!
