Antique "The Sho-All Displayor" (KY) Retail Tie & Fabric Display Rack - $85 (Sylva)

Antique "The Sho-All Displayor" (Paducah, KY) Retail Tie & Fabric Display Rack I took a poll among my friends on Facebook and the highest occurring thought is that this is a 1950s suit fabric and tie display for a retail environment: whereby the suit fabric is laid on top of the holder, along with several ties that compliment that fabric, such that many variations of potential suits and ties can be presented.
Regardless of what it was originally intended for, it's a really sweet design: each of the 38 holders can be swung side to side to allow an individual to look specifically at a particular rack; the entire rack of 38 holders can be configured to be completely spread out or tightly grouped; and each of the 38 holders have ridges, or grooves on top.
The unit measures 27" tall x 30" wide x 9.
5" deep (which is to say that each of the 38 holders extend out 9.
5").
What's left of the sticker on the platform base reads: "The SHO-ALL Displayor, Trademark Registered To.
.
.
Sho-All Company, Paducah, Kentucky.
" And I'm afraid that';s about all I can tell you.
The pictures tell some of the rest of the story.
