Antique Macey Barrister Bookcase 1 Section Oak 13 " Label
Item History & Price
Vintage antique Macey oak barrister bookcase stack or section - one section only -13 1/8" high for a 10 1/2" book inside
Made of oak
Macey original paper label insideThis is a very early Macey barrister, it has the paper label (later Macey marked them with a branded label, not paper), and also it has two knobs instead of just one like the later barristers.
Another unique feature is the spring loaded door mechanism (see photos 3 and 9); when the door is pushed open, there is a... slight spring back, somewhat like modern self-closing drawers.
In very good vintage condition; the door slides open/closed as it should, has the original knobs, original glass. The outside has been refinished. The inside ~with original finish ~ is very clean.
It is old, and antique so there are some light signs of wear and age, as can be expected, but all in all very good.
Measures 34" x 13 1/8" high (a 10 1/2" book would fit inside); it is 9 1/2" deep front to back, 10" at the outside bottom trim.
This Macey is equivalent in size to a Globe Wernicke size C.
Weighs 18 lb unboxed.
Ask questions and be sure about your size requirements before bidding.
Please see photos and feel free to contact me if you have questions.
I pack carefully and usually ship on the next day after payment is received.
Thank you for looking and for your bid!
