Library Card Catalogue

Description

3 tier card catalogue.   Top section is solid wood and has matching pull out shelves to write notes on.

Bottom 2 tiers are wood with metal and plastic drawers with wood fronts.  

I obtained it from a medical library that was closing down and moving, as the medical school had been purchased by a larger university.   The librarians didn't know much about it, but knew the top section at least was old--early 20th century they thought.   It's in realy nice shape.  Most of the card guides are still in place and all the handles are there.  Wood is in very nice shape.
