Exactly why this very unusual shape was made im not sure.
I think it must of been custom made for a very special customer.
In the early 1900s wood products were in high demand, not just for decoration and special occasions, but for everyday use.
America's forests were showing the signs of the huge appetite for wood. When a woodenware factory in Kalkaska, Michigan burned to the ground in l910, the decision was made to move the factory north to a location that was still heavily wooded. The spot chosen was Munising, Michigan, and in 1911 The Munising Woodenware Factory was incorporated.
