Any idea what this is?

14 July 2009

Ever come across something quirky....and even though you have no idea what you will do with it.....you still think you need it?

Well today... I met a lovely lady who had some items for sale......I just couldnt go past these gorgeous old cases.... both are in well loved ....well travelled but perfect condition...

..but it was this stand that had me the most intrigued....and Id love to know what it is.... it has "WEEBEE DESIGNS" written across it.....and the words "handmade originals" ... along with a depiction of a stick person.

Its just a simple wooden frame....with a handle and a curved rod at the top.....

Anyone got any clues?
I tried a google search....but so far I havent been successful..

    LOVE the suitcases Marid!!!!!!!!!
    I have always wanted some that I could put a glass top on to make a coffee table! Awesome find :)
    (or a stack of really old, weatherworn books)

    As for the stand it looks like something a man would hang his suit on. The jacket/shirt goes over the wooden frame and the pants/tie hang on the handle?

  4. Gorgeous finds Mardi. The suitcases are awesome. I think the stand may have been made to hold small childrens antique clothing at a antique store or market.

    Oh I know exactly what that is Mardi!!! It's a 'valet'!!! You hang your pants on the rail, and your jacket over the rest!!! (My Dad's a long-time antiques buff ... Mum and Dad's house is full of stuff like that and I have traipsed many stores in my lifetime). I have actually been looking for one for my hubby so he doesn't leave his clothes on our bed chest LOL. Enjoy it!!!

  10. Could the stand hold the weight of Baby clothes or Booties/Bonnets, etc.?
