Old Time Hair Stacker

This is a picture of my old hair stacker from 30+ years ago. It is made of bar stock aluminum. It is the smoothest stacker I have ever used for all but the tiniest of flies. It is shown next to a small stacker by AK Best (my second favorite stacker). A dime shown for size comparison.
I don’t think the large one is made anymore. I took it to a manufacturer and had a bunch made (quite expensive). In the process of moving, I seem to have lost them. Will keep looking.

Anyone else have this old-time stacker, and what do you think of yours???

UPDATE!!!
Just received a new hair stacker from Jay at JVICE today. It is solid brass. Small, but nice weight to it. It has a cone shaped top insert part which makes it nice to focus the stacked tips.
It is very nice! I think it is $17.

Hi Byron,

I’ve got the A.K. one. Who made the other, and more importantly, how do you keep that dime from rolling off the table? Sorry, just couldn’t resist! LOL!!!

Best regards, Dave S.

You again!!??
I have no idea who made it. Nothing imprinted on it. I think I found one of the ones I had made though.

Can we have an auction here???

Bidding starts at $1

I have the gigunda stacker that A.K. Best used to made, which is great for long hair on streamers. I also have a homemade aluminum stacker that is 4-1/2" long that my nepher turned for me on his lathe, and is great for stacking deer tail hair. Looks a little like yours, but is very plain.

Byron,

$1.01, and that’s my final offer! The price of aluminum is down right now.

Joe V - I have the BIG one too. It seconds as a hot tub for a family of six! LOL!!! Just kidden A.K.! I love it!

Best regards, Dave S.

Byron,

I have the stacker on the left also. Bought somewhere around 30+ yrs ago also. Bought a smaller one awhile back for smaller amounts of hair. The large on still works great for larger amount of hair. Thought I was the only one with one of those. LOL

I don’t have one, but I do remember those closed-end stackers. They seemed to work well but for some reason didn’t catch on. I haven’t seen one in years.
