<p>[QUOTE="flipper, post: 1974054, member: 14025"]I think if you look at the wear marks on the different examples we have located, it is not indicative of anything. Across the front cross bar is one place, but Deb's has it under the back bar, possibly from being held by pegs, and the one above shows wear on the back side, possibly from rubbing against the wall? Every single dish rack I have seen is straight wood so you can get the 90 degree-ish angle to hold the plates. All the hat racks that are wooden are much thicker and much more sturdy looking? Why would it need to release part of it from the main form? You don't want to dump out the dishes? </p><p>And the fact that there are two sets of "feet"...the live auctioneers one looks like the piece was resting on the back feet. I just feel like we are missing something...and the fact that the sellers have not been able to elaborate on what it is or what it is used for, seems to indicate that they really don't know, either. </p><p>Does anyone see where I am coming from? Or, perhaps it is just my thinking and I will obsess about it silently until a concrete and definitive answer is found and demonstrated. Either way, I have not given up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
