It looks to me like a fancy sewing stand...and the top section is a pincushion with a storage drawer. If I translated the size correctly (about 36"), it's about right to stand beside a chair and hold supplies.
The only other thing that comes to mind would be some type of finger braiding or craft where the top edge is pinned to something to add tension to the whatever, and the work is done in mid-air with the fingers. The feet could hold the stand steady while the fingers worked the craft. Alice in Oregon -- where we just set a record for rain total in March, and also the record for the latest day in the year for reaching a 60 degree temp for the day. Tomorrow will be the first day this year to get that warm. Previous record was March 27. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laurie Waters" <lswaters...@comcast.net> I wrote a few days ago with an inquiry about an Ebay item, but I gave the wrong number.
