Weird item of the week — Vintage Heated Hat Warmer

While I haven't come across anything particularly strange recently with my own bargain hunting, apparently someone else has! Check out this eBay auction for a vintage heated hat warmer / press.

Unusual Vintage Heated Hat Warmer / Press

"This item up for bids is a vintage Hat warmer ???? I was told by the old lady I bought this from that it was used for heating up your hats to take the wrinkles out of them to put them back into shape. It stands about 12 inches tall and warms up when you plug it in. It is made from cast aluminum and would shine up nicely. It would make a nice display item in a clothing store or you could use it to heat up your hat before you head outside, it works well."

Got any old wrinkly hats around the house? The current bid is just $19.99.
