From the basement of a well established Optometrist on the North shore of Long Island, still in practice. I don't believe this is too old, I believe it to be a reproduction from the 70's or 80's.
I have found identical pieces listed older. Seems to be painted tin.Measures a little over 36. There is a small bend to it and it does not sit flat. The 2 eye hooks are loose within the body but do not come out, one eye hook does protrude a little more than the other. Please note this when mounting.
Shows wear, paint loss, dirt, and scratches commensurate witha age, storage and display. Great piece and displays awesome.
