This cabinet is, purportedly, an original c1888 Wells Fargo & Company Express ticket closet, also called a stationery case. This solid oak piece features a pine back, one sliding drawer, two slide-out sections below the door, and a simple lock on the door, which opens from the top and swings down. This cabinet stands 26" wide, 16" deep, and 28" tall. Includes 12 pigeon holes, 2 vertical slots, and 5 horizontal slots inside. No markings or labels except for a brief "AGT/ BRAINARD/ NEB" inscribed in black on the rear of the cabinet. It seems that the cabinet has been recently refinished. - Jacobitz Collection -60300
