antique wooden hangers

I stopped by the reuse center the other day- you never know what you will find there. I got a stack of 10 old wooden clothes hangers. I thought they were 50 cents each so I was about to pay $5 for them only to find that the whole bunch was only $1. Steal. They all have wire hooks with long necks and some of them are stamped with text from the companies they belonged to. I think I will keep picking these up when I come across them so I can fill my closet these neat old hangers.

I collect these as well! i go to second hand shops in cities i visit, and then have them as functional souveniers.

I have a bunch of them too.
I especially like the ones with the business names and old phone numbers. The long hooks are great for hanging in tight spaces.
