Old file cabinet

[dougachim]

Shaw and Walker made around 1900. I spent all day yesterday cleaning it up without removing all the original finish. I still have to blow out the insides and clean all the metal pieces inside. I found 3 of them in a shed in Casas Grandes Chihuahua. I made 2 complete out of the 3 and hoping I can find some more original parts somewhere to complete the 3rd. They go for $1,000 +

The cabinet looks in fine shape, very nice indeed.
They demand a good $$$ in your area as up in Ontario I see them selling in the Estate auctions for $350-400 range.
Though most of the ones selling have a dark finish to them.
