About the Item

A fantastic, monumental oak wood wall unit ordered by Bradburn Bros. for an early Harley-Davidson dealership in Canandaigua, N.Y., c. 1900, for use in storing parts for repair of motorcycles and bicycles. This impressive cabinet was made by well-respected cabinet-maker W.C. Heller & Company, specialists in apothecary, hardware, and industrial cabinets such as this. The drawers are stamped with W.C. Heller & Co's information to the sheet metal drawer sides. Referenced in the May 1, 1909 edition of "Motorcycle Illustrated," Louis F. Bradburn "has secured the Harley-Davidson agency for the place and surrounding territory." Bradburn is credited as one of the earliest dealers of Harley-Davidsons, with ample ads featured in antique copies of "The Daily Messenger" from Canandaigua, NY through the 1920's. This antique wall cabinet unit is stamped with the information for the Bradburn Bros. on the back. Comprised of twelve independent cabinets, this unit assembles to fill a full wall of stacked cabinets, featuring a glass-front door display cabinet, a closed storage cabinet, open shelving, and "parts and pieces" cabinets, each boasting many small drawers. This impressive unit is a piece of historical memorabilia set to please any motorcycle enthusiast. The dimensions provided are for the fully assembled unit, as shown in the photographs provided. Documentation provided in the listing photographs include a bill of repairs from Bradburn's shop - repairs likely made with parts once stored in this cabinet - and newspaper ads from 1922 touting Bradburn's highly successful motorcycle shop.
