Paul, I have just found one of these little stands for you, if you'd like it?
2.5" at biggest diameter, 1 7/8" tall. It has the cut notches around the rim, but no star cutting on the base, just a tiny, polished pontil scar. Good ring!

I can reveal their true purpose. Hat stands for leprechauns.

Maybe I should keep it then!
Mother used to refer to my OH as "her leprechaun" because he is Irish. It was not appreciated. She thought he was wonderful (he is) he couldn't stand her (he was right).

Just came across these in a 1927 French catalogue, a wide variety of coupes à pied all available in sizes from 75mm so clearly a standard product.
