"When army equipment is disposed of by the government, it is usually auctioned off. It is said that they are sold by the pile with items still in their original boxes. Because of its close proximity to an army base, these auctions are frequent in the town. It is also one of the leading towns of antique shops in India. Many antique tool shops purchase these piles of army equipment not knowing what is inside and their job is to figure out how to sell them. Today we came across a stock of stretchers in a particular antique store. What came to mind was to make them into a coat rack. We added a pipe and a few other things to make the coat rack but we also wanted to keep the original look as much as possible.
