2025.11.42Description
A two-tone molded-plastic collapsible travel/garment hanger. A central cream/white hook unit (curved hook over a flat triangular yoke) carries two caramel/tan plastic arms that pivot on riveted joints; each arm terminates in a cream/white extension tip with an upturned, notched end. The hanger folds compact for packing — arms swung up alongside the hook (image 1) — and opens to a conventional shouldered hanger form with the arms extended to the sides and the notched tips up (image 2). Pivots are secured by white-centered rivets.Acquisition
