Rare Victorian 5 sec Ribbon Case 1877 Erie PA. Exhibition Showcase Store Display
$ 4500.00
up for consideration is a very rare Exhibition Showcase Co. Henrich's Pat May 8 1877 5 section Ribbon Story Display Showcase. The piece is free standing and measures 47 inches in height by 32 inches in length by 26 inches in width. This wonderful cabinet was stacked at one time with fancy ribbons from all over the world of which customers with assistance from the store Merchant would open the case sections cut and or sell lengths if not entire spools to energetic Victorian Ladies and others interested in decorating things such clothing underwear hats...etc...This particular model is extremely old made of walnut and may represent the first and earliest version of the patented Ribbon Cabinets...other later cabinets by the same company were made of oak, were stylistically more suited for the Grand Rapids era or Golden Oak era of design and "Henrich's Pat May 8 1877" was no longer represented on the display tag. This piece has both it's tags and all spool holder inserts. The middle larger section is stationary as the two outer section open up all the way around...please note that 1 of the brackets that has a pin that holds the outer door is missing...it can be used but the door is simply standing and is not attached.
