Please help me identify this "new to me" cabinet. I'm thinking maybe a Lista or a Vidmar or other? Older unit, measures 60" wide, 27-1/12 deep and 44" tall. I've looked all over it and cannot find any markings anywhere. DAMN heavy to boot. Full extension drawers. TIA

I've seen art cabinets with large drawers like that for storing prints, lithographs, etc. so they can lay flat. But your cabinet is so heavy duty I'm pretty sure it's not built for storing paper.

Printer's cabinets or letterpress cabinets also have wide drawers like that. But they have dividers in them. And they're generally made of wood. So I dunno.

Thank you. We had Lista's and Vidmars both in the shop I retired from. Seems to me the Vidmar's had a center lock tumbler but can't be sure.
Here is a picture of the inside and the only 2 dividers I got with it. One is upright, the other is upside down to help with identifying purposes.

Quick update. I located a large vendor that sells both Lista and Stanley Vidmar and talked to one of their knowledgeable staff. After talking on the phone and a few pictures emailed I am told it is a Vidmar, cabinet model DW0245, which comes in different widths and drawer configurations. The plan now is to get it cleaned up and all the drawers serviced and when I get caught up on my other projects maybe painting it to match my black/orange trim Snap on tool box. It will make a nice addition to the shop. Thank you to all that looked at it.
