Uncommon Old Sleeve Stretcher with Graceful Lines and Warm Patina tofa and much much more

Uncommon Old Sleeve Stretcher with Graceful Lines and Warm Patina tofa and much much moreThis feels to me akin to Shaker sweater stretchers and the mitten stretchers I listed last week too; this one with a strong tension to the hinged metal strips held between gracefully arching and tapering pieces of pine, which would be inserted inside a sleeve and then released to pull it taut.
