Hostess Doily Stretcher

When everyday objects become art.......Wonderful graphics on this wood framed doily stretcher made by the Hostess Company of Chicago.  It would look great hanging on a wall as 'Utilitarian Art' and it comes with a history.  Judging from the holes on the main wood 'stretcher' area, it was well used.  That being said, if you would like to use if for function rather than form, I'm sure a lot more doilies could be stretched!  25" square.  American, c. 1920's  SOLD
Condition:  Good vintage condition.
