Apex No. 2 wooden wall hung drying rack
« on: August 19, 2012, 06:07:29 pm »
I have a really nice Apex No. 2 wooden 8 arm drying rack - wall hung.  I see a number of these have sold on ebay for various prices and some that look in horrible shape are getting bid on.  Some of the sold racks I have seen have ranged in price from $20 or so to over $100 especially for the 8 arm ones.

Wondering if anyone could tell me approximate age and would anyone have an idea where to start the bidding?

Yes all arms work but I could not get the darn thing to stand up open so I haven't gotten a good shot of that yet.

LOL  no actually the arms are 27" long.  They seem to be a bit popular right now - just trying to figure out if this one might be one of the more "popular" ones  LOL

They were definitely used for clothes.  Let me see if I can find a few links for comparison - will post when I find them   ;)

You can find them listed in Kitchen Collectibles.

They were hung on the wall in close proximately to the wood/coal cooking stoves .... or overtop of a heating stove and were used for drying everything from socks, gloves, dishtowels, diapers, etc. etc. 

They were mighty handy for wintertime use.

Just a follow up - so I decided to list on ebay - went mid range and started at $49.95.  It ended last night at a final price of $91.00.  I am pretty pleased   8)

That was a nice item, both decorative and functional.

And if you have a "country kitchen" it is a "must have" item.

Thanks everyone - yes it was in really good shape too considering some of the ones I have seen listed and being bid on.  Wouldn't mind finding a few more of these   :o
