Vintage Aluminum Note? Holder with 20 Marbles

Description
This auction is for a Vintage Aluminum Hanger with Old Marbles. I am not sure what this was used for, but I have seen marbles used in a similar manner to hold things - maybe notes or other pieces of paper. The main piece measures 18 inches long and comes with a wall mounting bracket as shown. The end is marked, "PAT. PEND.". There are 20 marbles measuring approximately 5/8 inch in diameter each and range from Good(+) to Near Mint condition with wear but no missing glass. Whatever it is, it's the only one I've ever seen. I would guess it is from the 1950's or earlier.

Please refer to the pictures for detailed views.
