Z on Apr 06, 2014What great finds Julie. Personally, I like the old suitcase just as it is. Well, I'd have to clean it up allot, but I do like the dents. The apothecary chest is amazing!Helpful Reply

Susan Woodcock on Apr 07, 2014This is what I did with an old battered suitcase. I painted it all white with gold trimmings & sponged a floral design inside and sold it as a Bridal Case.Helpful Reply

Fra42152 on Apr 07, 2014Well Dewey Decimal !...I once lost a bid on one of these at an auction. I am still looking for another one. It is a Library card file system from around 1940's the 60's handles were not as ornate as these. Now if you see one the handles lay flat against the drawer. You can see the gap in the handles where a small rectangle of card and glass held the category names.Helpful Reply

Leah M on Apr 08, 2014As someone who worked in a library, I can promise you that is a card catalog. It looks to be a quite old one because it doesn't have the later drop down and locking system to keep people from removing the cards easily. It may have belonged to a private collector. I'd love to have one! Heck, I could catalog MY books!Helpful Reply
