Antique Adjustable Dress Form ACME L&M Great Condition
This is a stunning antique dress form made in the US by ACME L&M. Patent label in hip region starts in early 1900’s. Bodice and cage are on adjustable pole on? Cast iron base with rolling casters. So many knobs, wheels, gadget. Base also has foot pedal used to make adjustments. Great piece of Americana. Great condition for age. Does have a hose clamp on pole which obviously doesn’t go with it. I did not want to tinker with it so as not to disturb anything. Gears at neck work and expand the form. Other options for size adaptations inside form. Can use pins (as pictured) but not soft porous bodice.
