1950s New Life Sjostrom Solid Maple 72 Drawer Library Card Catalog Unit – Q284771

$1,800

SOLD

This special order card catalog, an integral part of the New Life library furniture collection by John E. Sjostrom Co. Inc., is a vintage treasure crafted from solid maple and enhanced with steel and nickel hardware. Its authenticity is accentuated by the presence of drawers still containing cards, each measuring 3 inches in height by 5 inches in width. They were reclaimed from Upsala College of Orange, New Jersey.

In terms of condition, the catalog is in fair shape, reflecting signs of wear and the passage of time. Three drawers require repair, and the top is experiencing flaking. Scratches are evident on the base and in the wood, contributing to its vintage character. Additionally, rusting on the base further attests to its age and history.

Inventory no.
