      Awesome find. I believe this company is still in biz here in Cali. This looks to be from the 50's would be a guesstimate. Don't have concrete info for you tho. Just thought I'd say I like it :)

      Hello, My mother was the Advertising Manager for Wolsey company for many years. The company closed in about the mid-90's. They had a big store/warehouse in City of Industry and sold art supplies and frames, etc to stores like Michael s. So I actually have my mother's easel still that looks like that. Probably from anywhere from the 70s to the 80s was when it was made - is my guess. Glad you like it! Love the paint on it. Gives it character :}
