Folding Wood Greyhound rack! What is this for??
« on: January 27, 2014, 05:41:18 pm »
Hi!

Does anyone know what this folding rack or whatever was used for.  It has a Greyhound sticker on it!

It measures 27" when folded up.

Thanks!
Jeanne

I think it might be a wall-mounted fold-away clothes drying rack. There are a lot of different styles, but I can't find one exactly like this. Does it have holes to mount it to a wall? Kinda like this but with the dowels running in the other direction:

It's an antique beach chair. It's facing the wrong way. That's why it was on greyhound.

Must have been more people with gout than I would have imagined if Greyhound bus lines provided them for passengers !!
I knew you would get it Rauville !!

Is that an Inventory tag or a Shipping tag?

I can't imagine unfolding that inbetween the seats of Greyhound bus.  ;D ;D

Anyway, I wasa thinkin that lots of things were shipped by Greyhound Bus ..... before FedEx and UPS stole all their business.
