srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3204 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 4:55 pm I had posted a picture of this cabinet a long time ago but since I've moved it down where it sits now I thought I'd take some additional shots. Before anyone asks, this cabinet out gassed it's fumes a long time ago. This cabinet was made in 1902, it's a Hamilton Sorting Cabinet that was used in a print shop a long time ago. I came across it in an antique store a while back and it serves it's purpose nicely for me. Edited by srs77 02/21/2016 4:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 5:17 pm Yeah, I remember this. What a beautiful cabinet! It looks like it has really nice guides allowing you to fully open the drawers without sagging. How many PSI are you running into that insulator. (Kidding of course. Cool design) Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 02/21/2016 6:39 pm I'm not sure about PSI but if it ran on electricity it probably would require 1.21 gigawatts. Or from another movie, 220, 221, what ever it takes. Edited by dave700x 02/21/2016 6:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 12:19 pm VERY nice setup! Me likey! What a great cabinet. Do you know what was it originally used for? Report this Post to the Staff
srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3204 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 12:42 pm CelticKnot, I found an old Hamilton catalog and my cabinet was in it. It was manufactured in 1902 and sold for a whopping $27 in that year... It was used in the manual printing process of the day. I'm not 100% certain exactly what they did with it however. It was called a Handy Sort Cabinet, below is a picture from the catalog I found. Mine is the 20 drawer model. One other interesting note, the $27.00 it cost in 1902 for this cabinet translates to $745.61 today.. Edited by srs77 02/22/2016 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 2:36 pm Beautiful display. It's especially nice when you can find good solid antique furniture that serves a unique purpose. It always amazes me that at local auctions these items sell for a fraction of what a brand new China import would cost. I guess most folks at auctions are old enough that they already have every corner in the house used up and have no more room for more furniture. I've done well getting rid of new stuff and replacing it with old stuff. The quality of older pieces is incomparable. Report this Post to the Staff
srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3204 Posts	Posted 02/22/2016 2:41 pm Moxking, you couldn't be more correct. This cabinet is amazing in it's construction. We need to go back to making things like this again. I'm seriously hoping I can find another some day. I got really lucky with this one as it had just been brought to the antique store and the owner wasn't sure she wanted to part with it but after a little coaxing and enough cash.. It was mine Report this Post to the Staff
