Grandma's Towel Rack

Here is something I recently rescued from my Grandma Gompf's house--it is the roller towel rack which hung just inside the back door, across from the hand-pump sink. When you were ready to dry your hands after washing them in the sink, you simply pulled the circular towel down to find a clean, dry spot to dry your hands. I love this reminder of bygone days. I mounted the roller on my bathroom wall and made a towel to fit it. Have you ever seen one like this?
