A foldable music stand. It appears to be made of hardboard, finished with a glossy white paint that gives the appearance of metal. It has a curved front panel with black text, a red treble clef symbol, and a red bass clef symbol that appears hand-painted. Text reads [PANAMA / FRANCIS / SAVOY SULTANS]. Attached to the back side of the front panel are four (4) hinged panels that form an open box when unfolded. The top panel acts as a music rest. It has a round hole at the top center and a hinged ledge. Pink sticker on the underside of the music ledge with gold text that reads [FASHION-FOLD / MUSIC STAND / PATENTED / HUMES & BERG MFG CO. / INC / East Chicago, Ind]. Above the text is a gold graphic of a pair of beamed eighth notes.
