Cast iron wrapping paper stand with twine attachment

Cast iron stand, with wooden rod and spool of twine. This was used by David Stanley at Stanley's Fish Market, Northeast Harbor, to wrap fish for customers. The cast iron stand has raised letters reading CUTTER BOSTON on the inside of one leg. A spool of white twine accompanied this stand when it was given to the museum, but there was no longer any paper.
