Welcome, Dma! Would you be so kind as to use the Edit button beneath your post to change the pictures from Thumbnail to Full Image? It will help us see your item more clearly.

 

Welcome Dma.
Babies cradle??????

 

Does appear to be a vintage newspaper/magazine rack.

for flower pots ? ivy etc.

 

It would be good to have dimensions. The rounded top looks like a 60's quilt rack, but the bottom doesn't.

 

Ok hopefully I did it right this time thank you

 

Thank you. I was thinking that maybe newspapers would go on top .

 

Your pictures are still thumbnails. Click Edit, More Options, click the Full Image box next to each pictures, Save Changes.

 

Thank you!

Now that I can see the stencil on the bottom better - can you see what the letters are that follow "American" - T O something?

 

I think it says tour

 

Hmmmm. That piece of paper under there, looks kind of dirty, but is there anything on it that might indicate who made this?

And how tall and how wide is it?

 

Not sure not by it right now but I will take a look at the tag when I get home. It is about twice as tall as a normal magazine rack. thank you

 

Ok. When you can. We'll be here!

 

Under the word "AMERICAN" it looks like the word " Heritage " .. This could of course be replaced wood. ... Joy.

 

Well my first thought was I thought the bottom looked like a magazine stand and the top looked more like a towel rack!! But newspapers hanging on the top is a good thought too!!!!! We used to have similar in spare bedrooms for guests, but without the magazine part on the bottom.....just legs and a stand....and it WAS for towels for guests!!!

AND, I nearly forgot, WELCOME to Antiquers, @Dma!!!! It's a nice piece, no matter which it is!!!!

 

American Heritage, I think. Looks large for reading material. Looks perfect to keep at the foot of a bed to hold shams & bedspread if not used while sleeping.

 

maybe a quilt/blanket rack with a space below for extras
something similar

I tried looking for an American Heritage Furniture Company but got a lot of junk hits on Google. When we get the dimensions it might be exactly what you (and I) think this looks like, Bronwen.

 

28h 20w 8d are the dimensions
