<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 2058988, member: 738"]Not clear from the pics, but what I am reading is that there was one shelf near the top for hats or whatever, supported by battens below where hooks were attached for hanging garments. I don't see any ghost evidence of it ever having had shelves all the way down. I don't think a rod for "hangers" would have been common in this period and most wardrobes in that era are not deep enough to accommodate modern hanger widths anyway. Easy to replace if a person is semi-handy with a hammer and saw. Thank you for following up, many auction operators don't bother to answer or to revise descriptions when an enquiry is made. I am impressed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
