Recent cabinet purchase

[mudcat]

I bought this cabinet on an auction last night and I was wondering if any of you have seen one like it before. I am really hoping it fits it in the space I have for it. I will be cleaning it up and re-painting it if it does. Would be a good project.

Looks like a bank cabinet. Banks use all sort of cabinets like this to lock up paperwork, withdrawal, slips etc.

That thing is awesome! No clue what it may have been used for, but great score!

Looks like something that would be used in the back of a small retail store where backroom space would be limited, like in a mall.

Yes I have one. It is neat. I repainted mine black on the outside, orange on the inside.

Lady I bought it from had a government job and she used it there.

Looks like maybe a military spec or government office cab to me.

I saw something similar recently on CL. It's called the Tower by Sears. Slightly different arrangement, but had file drawers and a safe behind 2 doors. Looks like a very versatile storage cabinet!

Appreciate the replies guys. I hope to find out more about it once I pick it up today. Hope it fits where I believe I have room for it. I am still not sure exactly what I am going to use it for, but it was to neat of a cabinet not to at least bid on.

I don't know what it's for, but it has tool box written all over it. Very cool.

What type of auction, and how much did it go for?
