This shelf is all pine and has a unique brass drawer pull and 8 divided cubbies ~all original. It is from 1880 or earlier; around the turn of the 20th century a lot of manufacturer's switched from pine to oak.
The corners are nailed together and the dividers are original, they were not added later as there are slots cut into the sides that they fit into. When standing with the handle up, the top 4 cubbies are each 5" x 5" and the bottom 4 cubbies are 5" x 9". There is a slight upward slope of the top, which gives it even more character.

The piece shows a lot of marks from wear and has a nice patina. It is the original finish! The bottom reveals marks from use as a drawer and someone along the way added two small metal hooks for mounting on the wall, which is an optional use for the shelf. It is very functional and can be used for storage or display.
