Hi Guys,
Thought I would have a little fun here and get Opinions going.
As we have been cleaning up in our storage room, we found this box sitting there. The original Stage Manager who was there when the building was built, past away a few years back, and from what I was told from the guy who worked with him, this was the only item he never did ask him about, and has been sitting in our storage room ever since.
Its a fairly solid piece which has been in cased in bubble wrap, and in that case, which has kept it in beautiful condition.
The maroon selection, in the center, starting from one side, curves outward towards the center and then back down again. The wood frame around that maroon center is a beautiful finished wood.
It has a metal frame back with 2 what appears to be metal legs coming from it, which are also steel cabled to the frame itself so it can only swing out so far on what appears to be a specific slant. Also on the end of the legs it has what appears to be U Hooks, to suggest that it was made to be hanging from a pipe/baton of some kind.
To get the ball rolling, we originally thought it was some sort of drafting table, although at closer look I don`t think thats the case. Another and maybe more stronger possibility is that its some sort of acoustical reflector, or maybe sample of one. On the box it does say handle with care and this side up, so it was thought to be important and have some value, just don`t know what it is.
Anyways as people have helped me with all sorts of things and questions here on this forum, I thought I would post this and have some fun with it, as its been quite the discussion, in our venue, with us and various other who come through.
See what you think, maybe someone here actually knows what this is, because we don`t, so any and all opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
