One of my new favorite things to collect.....vintage hangers.
I really can't explain the attraction....I just love how they look!
I want to incorporate the hangers in my bedroom and bath redo. I'm not exactly sure how it is going to look but these are some of the hangers that will go into the display.
I have several of these advertising hangers....they are some of my favorites.
This last hanger is my very favorite (at the moment).
Love this numbered tag on the top.
I haven't made any progress on my bedroom project yet......I'm over thinking the project and just need to settle on a color and get started! I'll keep you posted.

What a very cool collection. You have inspired me to be on the lookout for these!
ReplyDelete"playground device company" how fun is that! I like vintage wooden hangers and use them for clothes actually. I also have picked up two vintage-y paper wrapped dry cleaners hangars that are on display in my laundry room. Kelly
ReplyDeleteLove old hangers, getting hard to find advertising/wooden but I keep looking. You have a great collection, many I have never seen, so glad you shared.

I remember my parents had a lot of wooden advertisement hangers. One day I need to go through my parents garage with my sister to see all the treasures stored there.
ReplyDeleteI have a large collection too!
ReplyDeleteI like the hand made ones covered in vintage fabrics and made by home makers many years ago!
In Australia there arn't many advertising ones .
Glad your blogging again!
cheers Lyn
Jane I love old hangers too... I think it is their old industrial look. The wood is awesomely vintaged too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your room. I can't wait to see the results. Great to see your posts, I miss them :)

Ooohhh, aren't these fun! I haven't ever seen some of these types of hangers.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see what you do with them.

Wow a couple of them almost look like torture devices. :) Can't wait to see what you do with them for your bedroom.
ReplyDeleteYour vintage hangers are amazing. I wish I had a few of those to work with. I can't wait to see what you create with them.

I love them all, but I don't understand the double hooked one?
ReplyDeleteWonderful and unique collection! Most of those I have never seen before. Wow.
ReplyDeleteLove your hangers! I have a few that were my Mom's. I just have them in my laundry room for now. Your collections is great!
ReplyDeleteI like old hangers too! I use them to hang my clothes on. You have such an interesting variety!
ReplyDeleteI've never even seen vintage hangers (that I can remember). I will now be on the lookout for them at flea markets, estate sales. I love the advertising hangers...way cool.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. some of these hangers are so neat! I'm sure whatever you come up with...will be new and never before seen (by me) ideas...but no pressure! LOL... Pat
ReplyDeleteWho knew there was such interesting variety in vintage hangers? They're really like mini works of art, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, I hope you are well. Who knew there were so many different types if hangers out there. I know you will do wonders with them all and your bedroom makeover will be fantastic. Wishing you a wonderful day. Tammy
ReplyDeleteJane the hangers are like wall art for sure! I wonder if that last one came from a coat check!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
I LOVE your wonderful collection, Jane! I collect them, too, and recently saw a photo on Pinterest where they were displayed as a group on a wall...perfect artwork to me!
ReplyDeleteI tell you I learn something everyday just reading blogs and today I learned about hangers. You have a wonderful collection and now I am eager to see how you are going to incorporate it in your room Woo I can't wait to see.

I adore vintage hangers, don't find them very often, but snatch them up when I do!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I have a closet full of hangers we have picked up on our travels...can't wait to see what you come up with! For now we use them as displays for the jewelry at shows...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there were that many types of vintage hangers! Can't wait to see how you incorporate them in the room.
ReplyDeleteWow. you have really cool hangers!!
ReplyDeleteI know all about over thinking things, and color seems to be the worst for me!
here is a thought:
if it is causing you stress or anxiety to decide on a color, why not just change some simple things for now....and take on the BIG project later.
When the time is better, it will be easier to decide.
lovin' ya' along the way.

What a great collection! I took 2 of my advertising hangers and hung them from simple iron hooks in my bathroom and use them to hang hand towels. I also mounted 3 vintage door knobs with their plates to the wall and use them to hang our bath towels. I love how they look and guests always comment on them. Have fun creating your new look!
ReplyDeleteYou have some very unusual ones in your collection. I have a small collection too, but all wood and they are hard to come by in sunny South Africa. Thanks for sharing such a unique collection! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome collection! Some of those I've never even seen before!
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteOh I like your hangers, I have a few but not that style or unusual.
What ever you do with them they will be an eye catcher
I love hangers, too, but I have never seen most of these examples. Great collection- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove your hangers..
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few of them before but the others are awesome..
Your hangers are fantastic...I have some vintage hangers as well but you have some wonderfully unique ones....I too can't wait to see how you use them in your decorating...
ReplyDeleteI have never seen so many unique vintage hangers... what a wonderful collection!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, love the last one too! You've made them look like little works of art!

What an amazing array of hangers you've gathered! I hoard vintage hotel hangers and if I find Tulsa related hangers then it becomes my duty to buy and hang onto :) forever!
ReplyDeleteWhat a collection you have! Some of those I have never seen.
ReplyDeleteLove your collection. I have a few that are near and dear to my heart. I have one of my great-grandmother's dress (that she made) hanging on one hanger, a dress from my mother's childhood on another, and my deceased father-in-law's high school sweater on yet another one.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you do with yours.
Oh gosh I have boxes of hangers, I love them too! HOWEVER, you have some very unique ones that are wonderful!!
