This is a mid-20th-century retail countertop display stand for musical instrument strings, specifically promoting the Pirastro brands Wondertone, Roth, and Tricolore. The stand is constructed from finished wood and metal, featuring a two-tiered rotating carousel design mounted on a central cylindrical pillar. The upper tier consists of a circular wooden disc with twelve drilled apertures designed to hold string tubes or retail packaging. The larger lower tier features a similar arrangement of apertures, some of which retain metal liners. The stand is supported by a circular base with a single wooden peg foot. A central metal rod extends upward to support a rectangular wooden sign panel with painted graphics. The sign reads PIRASTRO WONDERTONE across the top, with Roth STRINGS on the bottom left and Tricolore STRINGS on the bottom right in stylized script. The outer rim of the upper tier is incised with the promotional text QUALITY, DURABILITY, AND. The outer rim of the lower tier is incised with the text SINCE THE DAYS OF.
