Diebold Industrial Flat File – 15-Drawer Steel Cabinet w/ Brass Handles

Impressive mid-century industrial flat file cabinet by Diebold Incorporated, maker marked on the front. Constructed of heavy-gauge steel with its original gray enamel finish, the piece features 15 drawers arranged in three modular sections (five per tier), plus a base and top cover for convenient transport and stacking. Each drawer measures approximately 2 inches deep, fitted with cast brass handles and recessed label holders—ideal for organizing and preserving maps, blueprints, and large-format drawings.

Comparable to the professional Safe-T-Stak systems produced by Diebold in the 1940s–60s, this model offers exceptional durability and capacity—each drawer accommodating roughly 400–800 sheets of 36″×48″ documents. Designed for architects, engineers, and studios, it exemplifies the precision engineering and robust construction for which Diebold was known. A striking combination of functional design and vintage industrial aesthetics, perfectly suited for archival, design, or collector environments.

Condition:

Good overall condition with scuffing, oxidation, scratches, and surface wear consistent with age and use. Areas of paint loss and dust accumulation are present, primarily along drawer fronts and corners. Brass handles show an appealing aged patina. All drawers glide smoothly; structure remains sturdy and sound. Please review photographs for full details.

Dimensions:

Overall: 52 in H × 53.5 in W × 42 in D
Each Section: 15.25 in H
Drawer Depth: 2 in (interior)
