    Description

    These large Raybestos service display cabinets are super rare.  There is a later, more ornate, light up version of their cabinets that I believe are from the 40s or 50s.  But, I cannot find another example of this specific cabinet anywhere and it is really beautiful.  Deep, almost cobalt blue door sign, and black exterior paint.  This cabinet is consistent with late 30's and early 40's advertising for Silver Edge and "Proving Grounds" product.
    I estimate this cabinet may be anywhere from 1935-1942 ish but would love to get your opinion if you have more info to share.  I really enjoy learning the history of these old items.
    Raybestos is a really iconic name in American automobile parts, and also in government contracting projects, and even in space.  You can find this brand and company all the way back to the 1910s and 20s.
    -  The inside shelves are all slanted downward intentionally to hold odd shaped belts and hoses.
    -  The brass door latch works but has no key.
    -  The metal casters are in good working condition and are well made.
    -  Door hinges are in excellent shape
    -  No major rusting or structural issues.
    I am pricing this at what I think is a higher retail number, but not sure of value so will drop price until it sells.
    Dimensions:
    58 inches high including wheels.  Wheels are original and not added later.
    20 inches wide and 20inches deep
    This is well made but not terribly heavy.  Fairly easy for two people to lift and rolls nicely.
    Condition Info:
    Good working condition overall.  Some minor denting toward bottom and some dents along the inside edge of the door.  Door opens and closes properly, and brass knob latch works but has no key.  Casters are all in good shape and unit rolls and stands well.  Minor surface rust but no structural issues.
    Shipping / Handling:
    I am listing this as "Freight Shipping" but I will not pack or crate it.  You will need to make arrangements for that.
    This cabinet will need to be specially handled and crated or UShipped.  I can take to a local UPS if you have an account to charge but it will be pricey.  Suggest Uship style delivery or pick up for free here in Oak Ridge, TN
