This File cabinet belonged to a 30 yr. old's great-grandfather...That's all I know about it history wise...
It has three sections to it. A base, a 24 drawer middle section, and a 23 drawer top section. The "lid" removes apparantly to add additional sections if you wish? and either of the existing sections can be interchanged with each other. I assume you could stack these things as tall as you wanted back in the day.
I don't know if I should mess with trying to clean it up, but I may consider selling it as I have no room for it anywhere other than in my shop.. Use it for nuts and bolts and misc.
Is there a way to date this? Is there a name for this kind of article? At first I thought it might be a type-setter's case, but no way to be sure...Maybe a bank or library file cabinet..
Lastly, what could it be worth?
I am not a collector or dealer so any help on this would be appreciated...
Thanks a bunch!
Jim
