Hand Wrought Copper Chestnut roaster or Bed warmer

Category
Metalware
Condition
Good
Description

I have what looks to be either a chestnut roaster or a oddly round bottomed bed warmer, it is made of wrought copper and the part that hold the handle is forged rolled iron with copper rivets holding it to the base as well as tho the hinge lid. There is, in the base around the top area a series of round and diamond holes punched around the circumference for decoration.

15 drawer Globe file cabinet c1880

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

All original, complete finish is original also

Info I found online:

Letter Filing Cabinet

Letter Filing Cabinets have flat file drawers. Drawers contained metal devices to hold papers in place as well as alphabetical dividers, e.g., the A drawer would have a divider for Aa to Ac followed by a divider for Ad to Ae, etc.

Cameron Amberg & Co. was established in 1868 and made its first Cabinet Letter Files in 1875, when they won an award from the American Institute, New York, NY. (Asher & Adams' Pictorial Album of American Industry 1876). In 1876, its Cabinet Letter Files were awarded a medal at the Centennial Exposition. The metal devices in some of its drawers bear an 1878 patent date.  In 1881, 1,000 firms were using its cabinets. By 1893, the company name changed to Amberg Letter & File Co. (However, the Cameron, Amberg & Co. name appears to have been resurrected later, because the latter company published an office supplies catalog in 1930.)  Shortly thereafter, its letter filing cabinets had patent dates from 1878 to 1896.

Globe Files Co.'s Letter Filing Cabinets received awards in 1882-83.
