Bag Man needs aid and comfort.
Attached are some pictures of a speed bag platform I am having restored. It’s design is similar to a platform made by Narragansett Machine Works (NMW). I do not believe it is a NMW product, however. My research seems to indicate that Everlast purchased NMW in the 1950s and started marketing its platforms; first under the Narragansett Gym Equipment brand and then under the Everlast brand. The Everlast platforms that I have seen are painted blue.
There is a spot on the frame where the paint is blue. The color of the platforms Everlast marketed looks similar to the blue on mine. I was curious if this was an Everlast product, perhaps prior to its buying NMW.
Two other thoughts were that it is a Medart product or perhaps a custom build.
