9 Drawer Mini Flat File Cabinet Originally Made for Venus Pencils, circa 1910

About the Item

This little cabinet is very unusual, useful, and eye catching. Lots of little drawers, perfect to file away all sorts of items, including pencils, which it was designed for, but also coins, stamps, jewelry, etc. The gilt lettering on the drawer front is the attention grabbing feature and the drawers all work easily. The Venus pencil company opened in 1905 in Canada. You can have fun if you care to research it. Just about impossible to find such a small cabinet that will help file away your whatever, and at the same time make you feel good just looking at it.
