"The Dorad" was apparently patented in the late 1800s. Doesn't appear to have ever been painted. Has some oxidation and a few bumps and bruises from use thru the years, as well as a small, but hardly noticeable repair to one of the arms (circled in red in the photos)...but nothing that would keep it from functioning as it was designed to do. The round upper revolving rack turns freely and smoothly as if it were brand new. The four casters at the bottom work and even still have the original rubber on them although it's not in great shape. All parts and components seem to be original and we have no reason to think otherwise...mainly because we have not been able to find any that are exactly like this one, age and looks wise. It stands approx. 68" tall and the upper rack is 31" in diameter. The caster base in approx. 28" X 28" and is in surprisingly good condition. This clothing rack comes apart in 3 pieces. The round upper rack, the pole, and the roller base. less
