A set of old wooden Japanese stands that will be useful to display your treasures. The stands range in age from the 1920s until perhaps 1960.
Most of the stands are simple, with few embellishments. Two have pierced bases. The woods have been stained a variety of brown colors.
Some of the stands, but not all, have either “JAPAN” or “MADE IN JAPAN”. Some have no mark and probably had a paper label. One darker stand has the number 2 ¼ written with permanent marker underneath. This is the diameter of the well.
