Jack Olsen inspired new locker

[Postsedan]

Jack,

I just picked up this new vintage nine shelf locker, the former owner believes it was from the 1940`s. Great patina, door and latch works great.....missing the key. I`m thinking on removing the legs to give it a sleeker look, or incasing and hiding the legs. What do you think?

I like the legs and the patina...clear the rust and enjoy the storage...or Shiny Jet Black with the Legs!!! my 2cents..

Very cool , nice storage.

That's old school! Love it.

I have a set of 3 of those same lockers, in way worse shape. I would keep those legs, they make them look a lot cooler. If you dont keep them PM me and I will buy them.

better get that one screw indexed properly before teken throws a coniption........

 

[ChristopherLutz]

Agree with the others - I like the legs. Cool find.

 

[Big Gus]

Cool find!

I'd keep the legs if I were you.

Ditch the legs...they look terrible. Drop them in a box and ship them to me for proper disposal.

 

[Postsedan]

Confirmed, Keeping the Legs

I don't prefer those legs but they are cool. I'd use them on something else.

I agree, keep the legs...but if you don't then PM me and I'll buy them

Cool cabinet.....Since it's a single cabinet I'd probably keep the legs. If you had two or three of them to be all lined up I'd probably take the legs off.

Waiting for Jack`s reply & opinion....he must be in his garage

Has Jack become the Martha Stewart of the garage?
Can a special on Lifetime be far behind?

Just a little poke Jack. You obviously are inspiring others

Jack only messes with 12ga stuff.

That's a nice looking box, legs or no legs it's up to you.

I read the title as "Bree Olsen..... "

But this is still pretty cool. I'm a sucker for vintage anything, and that's about as good as it gets, minus those huge old steel desks..

Lotto time!

 

[Jack Olsen]

That's a very cool cabinet.

I think the legs stand out more when it's sitting out of context. In the shop, they'll probably look more 'right.' But it looks like you can unscrew them?

Ha ha I just saw that locker on craigslist and kept wondering if the guy was asking too much. Also had the thought that what North siders call "patina" South siders recognize as rust.

 

[dwaynerz]

keep the legs. easier to clean the dust/dirt that always seems to find its way under the bench/cabinets/whatever.

 

[Krokodil]

Very cool find find! I love these old school stuff.

 

[bazzateer]

Keep the legs, de-rust and re-paint using the interior as a colour-match.

 

[Jay H 237]

A lochsmith can make a key for that, you can remove the lock and drop it off and they can match it.

The legs are cool I would keep them if it was mine. Use something to kill that rust and give it a nice paint job , hammertone silver or black might work well. Nice score!
