Re: Antique industrial steel drawer cabinet
Values for office cabinets like this in rough condition tend to have modest values as the cost of restoration often exceeds the value of a comparable one in good condition. We see cabinets like this go for less than $75.00 at auction.
Re: Antique industrial steel drawer cabinet
I love this cabinet! I live near San Francisco, and have see cabinets like this listed for $800+ in antique shops, especially with that kind of patina and age showing. I'd take it home in second if I could afford it (lol)
