Welsh 'Playmate' Folding Playpen/Bassinet Frame (in original box)

The item appears to be an unassembled or folded 'Playmate' by Welsh, specifically a vintage baby playpen or perhaps a bassinet/crib frame, still contained within its original corrugated cardboard shipping box. The primary visible components are made of what looks like metal tubing or channel, likely steel, given its grayish, somewhat aged appearance, suggesting it might be chrome-plated or galvanized. There are prominent spring mechanisms visible, indicating a folding or collapsing action for portability or storage, typical of baby gear from the mid-20th century. One spring is clearly seen positioned vertically on a frame joint. Also discernible are sections of what appears to be a light blue fabric or vinyl material, hinting at the interior lining or mattress of the playpen. A brown paper-wrapped bundle is also present inside the box, likely containing additional parts, instructions, or bedding. The cardboard box itself is in a visibly worn condition, with crumbling edges, creases, and tears consistent with age and storage, but it still serves its purpose of holding the item. There are no obvious maker's marks or specific model numbers visible from this angle, but the 'Welsh' branding mentioned in the context points to a known manufacturer of baby products. The overall aesthetic and construction suggest a mid-century (likely 1950s-1970s) design, characterized by functional, utilitarian style with metal framing and simple fabric elements. The visible components appear to be in good structural condition, with no immediate signs of rust or significant damage, though some light surface wear or patina on the metal is probable given its age. The quality of craftsmanship seems to be industrial and robust, designed for durability.
