{"product_id":"early-wall-mount-general-store-folk-art-bag-sorting-rack","title":"Early Wall-Mount General Store Folk Art Bag Sorting Rack","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rare surviving example of a late-19th-century general store bag sorter, built to keep paper sacks organized by size and ready for fast service at the counter. These curved, fan-form racks were typically wall-mounted behind the merchant, allowing clerks to grab the right bag in a single motion-an everyday fixture in dry goods, apothecary, and hardware stores before prefabricated dispensers replaced them.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHand-crafted in pine with a boldly arched face, this piece shows original red paint with black, folk-style stenciling-an unexpected decorative flourish for what was essentially a utilitarian tool. The interior retains its full array of narrow dividers, most still holding period paper bags that came with the piece. The backboard shows original square-nail construction, early surface oxidization, and working wall mounts.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition is strong for its age: stable, solid, and free of major cracks or losses, with expected wear to painted surfaces, edges, and lower corners. The display presence is striking-equal parts Americana, mercantile history, and primitive folk charm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n8.5\" W x 15\" D x 16\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18152 - 120224\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42545231265835,"sku":"18152","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/cd681538-8ba7-5ae5-aa5f-fcc814db55b2.jpg?v=1764871705","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/early-wall-mount-general-store-folk-art-bag-sorting-rack","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
