About the Item

Crude and Primitive cabinet with ten file holders. Paper labels indicate use between the years 1891-1893. Structurally sound but shows wear / loss. The brass pull second from the left is missing, and there is one repair to the end file holder (shown). The file holder without the pull can be pulled down from the top. Otherwise, a nice, functional piece that shows good age.
