<p>[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 324156, member: 88"]I have a large pile of these wood pieces. They came from an estate of a man who was a watchmaker. I bought the contents of his watch work room a few years back & sold the bulk of it back in 2013. I am going to try to rid myself of the remnants over the course of the next month or so. I am not sure, but I believe they might have been used in the drawers of the small storage units like the one below. There were none in any of the drawers of the units that I sold, so I can not say for sure. He was also an avid rock collector & they may have been for use in dividing the huge collection he had out in the garage. I am not into rocks so I barely even looked in there. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-7-DRAWER-METAL-WATCHMAKER-WATCH-PARTS-STORAGE-CABINET-/282764110170?hash=item41d60de95a%3Ag%3AibMAAOSwLJ9aKbaN&nma=true&si=rwMXjRVmx4PYaUc%252BIKCcl9Q32z4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-7-DRAWER-METAL-WATCHMAKER-WATCH-PARTS-STORAGE-CABINET-/282764110170?hash=item41d60de95a%3Ag%3AibMAAOSwLJ9aKbaN&nma=true&si=rwMXjRVmx4PYaUc%252BIKCcl9Q32z4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-7-DRAWER-METAL-WATCHMAKER-WATCH-PARTS-STORAGE-CABINET-/282764110170?hash=item41d60de95a:g:ibMAAOSwLJ9aKbaN&nma=true&si=rwMXjRVmx4PYaUc%2BIKCcl9Q32z4%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The pieces are very lightweight, maybe made of balsa wood. I also am not sure if they are a manufactured item or if this is something he made himself. The end pieces are 10 3/8" long & 5/8" wide. The multi-notched pieces are 9 1/8" long & 5/8" wide. The assembled piece is 10 3/8" by 9 1/2". The pieces I have literally fill a large Priority flat rate box, but if you live closer to me & it would be less expensive for you to use another method I am sure I have a box that would fit them nicely. Also if there are multiple folks that want these pieces I will draw names next Sunday. I would also be open to dividing them up into 2 or more evenly divided groups if no one wants the whole lot.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/979022596_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/3/2/6/8/2/webimg/979022602_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
