<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 132228, member: 37"]I think it is some kind of retail cabinet. Could be from a hardware store but they are usually more utilitarian and more beat up than this. I am thinking more like notions or some other retail that would sell lots of small things. Remember, back in the day, most shopping was assisted by a clerk. The public wouldn't necessarily have access to the merchandise. A cabinet like this would be behind the counter and a clerk would retrieve merchandise from it to show to a customer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
