Description

Color: Brown A wooden clothes hanger made of wood with a metal hook. The frame consists of three pieces, two joined sections meeting at the top near the hook and fastened by heavy staples. These sections run at 45 degree angles from the top and curve at the ends. Inserted in holes at these ends is a rounded bar for suspending pants and trousers. The metal hook at the top is inserted in a hole between the joints of the frame pieces. The hanger was found in the attic of La Casa Nueva during the installation of insulation. With overall surface soiling and chips and cracking on the ends of the wood and rust on the metal, the hanger is in fair condition.
