Ranger nomade

French to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Another title. No clues as to what the item is. Possibly the Ranger in the title is a play on words about some kind of storage unit. Thoughts?

Straightening up [your stuff] for rovers: Organizer for Rovers

nomade in French everyday speech are NOT nomads...it's the roving one does when young ..as in being a mover..getting around to see/do everything in a city, country...to be a rover

this means you can straighten up [clear up, organize your personal junk] that you pick up as you rove around town, or country or internationally

neutral Bourth (X) : In "everyday speech", "nomades" is gypsies, 'travellers', fairmen, etc.

neutral awilliams : I don't know but I'm mighty glad I'm not doing this translation...! It would be worth getting hold of the pictures in the original catalogue.

agree David Vaughn : Sounds likely - the objects described should confirm. BTW, Bourth is certainly right that nomade is (also) nomad in everyday French.
