AN old hardwood hat block, as used by milliners, was sold in error from the main Oxfam shop on West Street, Tavistock on Tuesday, October 1 in the afternoon.

The hat block is in two parts comprising a wooden stand and head block which fits onto it.

The hat block was sold in error and belongs to a local hat maker who had lent it to the Oxfam Bookshop for a craft display in the window.

A full refund will be given to the person who bought it if they can return it to either Oxfam shop as soon as possible.
