Vintage Globe-Wernicke 4 Drawer Card Catalog

Globe-Wernicke wooden card catalogue with a partial decal on top front. The intact label inside the cabinet on the upper left says “Globe-Wernicke No. 45816, Cincinnati Ohio USA.” Nice dove-tailed wooden cabinet, 4 drawers with wooden fronts and army-green metal interior drawers. Original brass label pulls on drawers.
By adding four legs, this vintage file cabinet could become a modern industrial end table or nightstand, doubling as functional storage. The Globe-Wernicke Co. Ltd. was an American furniture company based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1893, they’re best known for their bookcases, desks, and office furniture. During WWII, most of their business was devoted to producing military equipment. This cabinet has a hand-carved number on the upper left front corner indicating past US government use.

Condition:
