That looks *exactly* like my pasta dryer (for drying hoome-made pasta dough). Exactly. Therefore methinks... ;)

take a look at this link you will see.
That looks exactly like the candle-dryer my delightful hippie neighbor had back in the 70s.
She made handmade soaps and hand-dipped candles, which she sold in shops. She made the candles two at a time and hung them on just such a rack between dippings.
P.S. I noticed awhile back that you were interested in selling or trading come of your needles. Go to: www.gingerknits.com
She makes bangle bracelets form the plastic ones. Maybe she will be interested.
Do you still have any old Aero straights? I love those and would be interested in a trade.
