Wooden shelves nailed into interior by Nuns’ Handyman many years ago…
Missing leather straps and center locking bars were also snapped off by said handyman.
I’ve used it as bookshelves and an art supplies cabinet since I found and bought it at age 14… coming up on 50 now… (so, purchased in about 1987).
I’ve always been curious about its origin and details of value, etc.
This is a bowed glass display cabinet. It has 4 wooden shelves inside and a mirror inside the back. It's 1/4 sawn Tiger Oak. It has the #13 carved on the inside bottom shelf
I have a James Sadler 1940 biscuit barrel. I would like to sell this - it’s still in a good condition with some paint cracking and the gold trim worn away in places.
I am finding it hard to find any pieces with the same pattern so I am unsure roughly how much this is worth.
I can see online that the 8 on the base is the pattern number but I cannot find out much more. Any ideas or help would be really appreciated.
Thrift store find - excellent condition! I’m unable to find this item on google search. There are similar items dating to 1940. Has a large square mirror.
Any ideas on the value?
