Antique Hardware Store / Country Store

Displays & Fixtures

 

  Note:  These Hardware Store cabinets & displays are still being used in an old Hardware Store that will be closing in Nov. / Dec. of 08 and will not be available for shipping or pick-up until then.  You may order and reserve them now!! 

The Bean counter and double tower showcase are available now. 

 

Sherer Bean Counter / Cabinet  This is a great piece of country store / general store memorabilia and  history.  It has set in a general store set-up / home museum for over 30 years now, and it is time for it to find a new home.  It is 7' 4" long and I imagine has been shortened from its original 12 or more feet long.  There is an original framed panel on one end ( with Sherer decal), and the other end has been done in plywood.   In front it has 10 windows and a slant front.  The base is 34" deep.   It is 34" tall.  The base has 10 drawers with larger ones on top, smaller on bottom and all appear to be original and nice.  Overall it is in very nice condition.  Note that the hardware on the drawers is original and marked with the Sherer name as well.

120+ Drawer Oak Hardware Parts  Cabinet This is a great General Store or Hardware Store Parts Cabinet.  There is a label attached at the base that gives the maker and location in the upper Midwest.   It reads Riverside Hardware Cabinet Farwell Ozum Kirk & Co. St Paul Minn.  Pat. Pending.  

This was a hard piece to take nice photos of as it is still in use and being used for its original intended purpose.  The board above displays what is currently stored in it, and is not part of the unit.    It is in a very tight and cramped area.  Note that it has 3 different depth drawers, with 2 steps down near the bottom.    All told it has over 120 different drawers in different sizes. Each of the upper drawers are 12" deep and the lower ones are 16" and 20" deep.   It stands just about 5' 2" tall and is 62" long.  There is some minor water damage to the rear corners along the back, but the front looks great, and is in great condition.  This is a piece you will not see or find again in a long time.   

Shipping will be additional.  If you need additional info inquire.

Country Store Nut / Bolt & Screw Parts Cabinet  These 8 sided parts or bolt & screw cabinets were first patented and introduced back in the late 1800's and were still being used after the turn of the century before being phased out by the new metal versions and blister pack merchandise.  This one is in very nice original finish and condition and dates from that time period.   It has 80 drawers in the top portion with 10 drawers on each of the 8 faces.  All are present and original with engraved stencils telling what was originally sold from them.  The drawers on this one measure 10 1/4" across and 3 3/4" tall.  They are 10 1/2" deep.  Overall this unit is 29" across the top and 46" tall without the base.  The base is 30" square and 15" tall.  It is a very unusual to find these with the original base cabinet which has 18 more drawers in it.  The top cabinet is sitting on it, and it does spin as it should.  Overall with the base cabinet it stands just about 5' 2"  tall.
