Another find from the auction. My little cousin was w/ me and when I picked these up he was like "what are they?" and I said "I have no idea, but I can't leave them here".

So now I look at them everyday and try to imagine how to use them.

Ideas anyone?

Don't worry about the spokes, cover them up. Then attach old anti antique plates on the top part and hooks on the bottom for mismatched tea cups. Posted: 11:40 pm on March 11th

Then side curtains can be hung from legs. You can either hang them together on a larger window or seperately on 2 smaller windows. Posted: 2:45 pm on January 23rd

need a little something more to sturdy it up. I'm guessing that they are chair backs. You have lots of options. They are great looking.

MimiToria writes: Great save. Hard to know the dimensions from the photo, but they look tall and skinny to me. My being a jewelry designer I immediately thought of a jewelry display piece. One could put scrabble tiles on the top flat area and write something cool there, and than on the lower flat area, add cup hooks, vintage hardware hooks, etc. and hang your jewelry from them. Or your scarves, or whatever else you need a place to display something.

Maybe a towel rack or apron rack or something to hold vintage fabrics if turned horizontally??

Lots of possibilities! Thanks for sharing again!

Happy creating,
