DescriptionThis paper dispenser is designed to hold large rolls of butcher paper and features a wide steel frame that supports the roll. A long wooden plank connects the two steel legs, which hold the roll in place. Above the roll, a steel appendage attached to the wooden plank uses springs to secure the paper as it is pulled and cut. The entire structure rests on an additional wooden base. The piece shows significant signs of wear throughout, consistent with its age and heavy use.On View
