Beschreibung:

Very rare example of the 1920s marketing cabinet that was offered to Winchester Premier dealers. 4-sided glass case with pyramid top, with quarter-sawn oak frame. Nominal measurements are 5/8" frame thickness, 74 - 1/4" tall, width of 17 - 3/4". Interior with 4 racks for resting long guns, 5 each, totaling 20, with "WINCHESTER" logos facing exterior. Walrus Manufacturing logo on underside of base. Examples of these very rare cabinets can be seen in "Winchester Rarities" by Tom Webster page 201. These cabinets are extremely rare and very few are speculated to still exist. Included is a very interesting copy of a piece Winchester advertising that talks about these cases, trying to get retailers to purchase them. CONDITION: Good. Barrel rests and lock have become detached but are included. Wood appears to have been very carefully sanded and revarnished, and there is some wood fill around a few spots of termite damage. Wood has bumps and bruises throughout with some chips that are somewhat heavier than would be expected. Still a highly attractive piece. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Name Value Paperwork
