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.

Herline Philadelphia Lithograph of Martin Luther & Others

Category
Other
Condition
Poor
Description

This is a lithograph created by E. Herline Lith. 630 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. It is captioned "Luther und seine Mitarbeiter an der Reformation". It includes a central likeness of Martin Luther as well as 6 others. It is in  poor condition, with some waterstaining and perhaps moth damage. The frame seems to be very old as well, as was perhaps painted gold at one time. The backing to the frame appears to be two pieces of very old wood. 

I found this and thought it was very interesting. Just wanting an idea of the age and value. I have found several lithographs by Herline in museum collections, especially in Philadelphia. They seem to be dating to between the 1850's-1870's. I am aware that because of the poor condition this is probably not worth much, but any historical value it may hold is important to me.

Any help at all is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
