Early 20th Century Steelworkers Blueprint Cabinet
About the Item
This massive industrial cabinet was recovered from a decommissioned foundry in Milwaukee, WI. The cabinet housed thousands of blueprints dating back to as early as 1900 - each describing and illustrating different parts that were created by the company for the assembly of ships. From top to bottom this cabinet boasts an impressive forty eight drawers. The cabinet is constructed of 3/4" solid pine throughout. Close inspection of the underside shows the quality of the wood used in construction - a quality rarely seen by today's standards.
This cabinet bears the original paint and has not been touched except for dusting. The original tin punch labels adorn the face of the cabinet describing what was once contained inside.
The overall dimensions of this cabinet are 91"W x 32"D x 60"H. Each of the forty eight drawers have interior dimensions of 19"W x 28"D x 3"H.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: This cabinet was photographed while set on blocks. The cabinet does set nearly flush with the floor when removed from the blocks. These blocks were put in place simply to allow ease of movement during photography and are not included.
This cabinet is prohibitively heavy. Please take this into consideration before purchase. The drawers are removable which will lighten the cabinet significantly.
This cabinet bears signs of wear common with industrial cabinets that see this kind of use. Please take a close look at the photographs.

Dental Cabinet, Early 20th Century
Located in Wrocław, Poland
This stunning Dental Cabinet was possibly manufactured in USA by Lee Smith & Sons in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Notable for its distinctive nickel hinges and trim, as well as the iconic swing-out drawers synonymous with Lee Smith & Sons, this piece stands as a testament to an era of unparalleled craftsmanship. The piece is made of solid wood (and is pretty heavy). Adorned with twelve meticulously nickel-plated swing-out drawers, complemented by two discreet blind doors below and two elegant glass doors above, further enhanced by an extendable top this cabinet exudes both functionality and elegance. The piece was gently restored, wooden elements were cleaned and finished with high quality wax, nickeled metal parts remain in beautiful original vintage condition. A very unique and rare treasure that will be an unusual element of any original interior such as loft, barber shop etc. Among traders called the Holy Grail of antique medical furniture...
