Berkey & Gay cabinet

By naezway, 15 December, 2010
Description

This is a Berkey & Gay cabinet. I'm thinking a mail cabinet. It has a lock but I do not have the key for it. I purchased this 4 years ago at a thrift store in San Clemente, CA. It was not out for sale with a price on it yet and I got them to sell it to me for $50. The only thing I know is that the branded label was used prior to 1900. I wonder if this piece may have been for their office as all I have found is dining and bedroom furniture that they made.

Re: Berkey & Gay cabinet

It looks like a record cabinet that someone's converted. The were dual purpose, the record player sat on top and the records were stored  below. At auction comparable pieces often sell for under $150.00
