Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:6864 |
Vintage Letterpress Type tray or drawer. 7/8 Size Case. Cast iron Hamilton handle or pull. There is a painted label holder to the right of the handle. The top middle of the rear frame board is stamped with Hamilton's Makers Mark and "New Departure Patented". The drawer is structurally solid.
This drawer measures approximately 27 7/8" x 18 7/8". The Handle adds another 3/4". The "legs" are about 2 1/4" so the drawer proper is 16 5/8". Great dra...wer for large type or over sized cuts. Interior depth of the drawer is about 1" while the outside depth is about 1 3/8" on the sides and back while the front is 1 3/4"
The bottom is Plywood which is in great condition. The inside of the bottom was covered with paper (see last photo). We removed the paper using a damp sponge and a putty knife. You may need to do a little more removal in the edges.
It looks like this drawer has never had any dividers.
We wiped down the outside of the frame with wood cleaner but cleaned the rest of the drawer with a cloth moistened with tap water.
The drawer would also be an excellent candidate for making your own custom dividers suitable for your particular collectibles. A versatile drawer with tremendous possibilities.
We will remove the handle (two screws) for shipping and include them with the drawer.
