<p>[QUOTE="Kathy Richardson, post: 3607378, member: 18577"]I picked up a unique beautiful cabinet many years ago and have never seen another one even close to it. It is 2 pieces with one sitting on top of another. It is a wonderful cabinet. It was described as an oak file cabinet / bookcase with roll-down locking doors and locking lower doors. It came with 3 keys. It is held by two screws and a series of wooden blocks that support and hold the sections together. You remove the screws and rotate, not removed, to release one section from the other. Then the top of the bookcase can also be removed as well as the shelf.</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece was first purchased from an attorney in New Tazwell, Virginia, who bought it in 1932 when he opened his law office. He was finally fully retired and was selling pieces from his office. I believe it to be all original, including the brass hardware. One of the 15 brass knobs is a tad different but it was bought that way. I found some brass knobs very close but I would replace all 15. Not sure I even want to do that since the ones on it seem original, even the different one which must have been changed at some point by the original owner. I am no expert so hope this is the 'right' way to do the measurements<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Whole piece is about: 79" tall x 51" wide x 17.5" deep</p><p>Top section: 49" wide x 43" tall x 13.5" deep</p><p>Cubby section x 15 is about: 15" wide x 6.75" tall x 13" deep</p><p>Top of bottom bookcase: 51" wide x 1.25" tall x 18.75" deep</p><p>Bottom bookcase section is about: 49" wide x 28" tall x 17.5" deep</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone seen anything like it?
