old cotton farmhouse kitchen stairs rug, long stair runner, vintage 1940s

Vintage cotton rag rug runner from an farm estate here in rural Wisconsin. This is a back stairs rug, a poor man's carpet for stairwell steps or hall. It's 34" wide x 164" long (about 13 1/2 feet long end to end, to cover the ups and downs of the steps). There's wear to the edges, but it's good and sturdy overall, without thinning or holes. It's a little dirty from light use, but odor free, without serious spotting.
