Anyone know what this rack was used for and what would have been in it? How old? Can't find a date anywhere on it or the box it came in.

Thanks
Chris

Never seen that one before but I would guess 40's or older.

it would have held the Gulf Cruising Guides, very similar to road maps but a little bigger and had the routes on the waterways.
I had about 6 of those I tried to get rid of on here for $5.00 for the bunch but no takers. I don't know what happened to them but if I find them I'll send them to you. That is the first rack I ever saw, Great piece And I believe it is from the mid 50's

That is an absolutely beautiful piece. Yes indeed I believe it is for cruising guides. First one I have ever seen too. John
