Hi Danny,
I was given another Hutton stand last week (pics attached).
Have you any idea of it’s purpose?
To us it looks like a stand to work on a bike upside down.

Hello Paul,
In reply to your email about a Hutton stand being used to hold a bicycle upside down.
Most illustrations I have seen show the bicycle the correct way up but I believe some stands could be used either way.
An article about Hutton in the September 1900 issue of the Pictorial Record confirms that stands could be used to hold a bicycle upside down.
