This cabinet is in very good overall condition with relatively little wear or damage acquired over its approximately 125year history. While it is not labeled, it features several distinct characteristics, such as the two detailed below thatconfidently identify it as a piece by the National Ticket Case Company. There are some characteristics thatidentify it as such, and there are two examples below. Top to bottom details exterior and within: The topsurface was worn, so it was sanded and then stained the same color as the rest of the cabinet. The twosides are in good shape with nothing beyond a few small dings. There is no damage, such as splittingor water deterioration, and they both present well. The vertical (patented) "C-curve" stiles on eitherside of the opening are good overall save for cracked laminate on the left side due to the pressureproduced by the bend near the top. The roll-top door is very nice. There is some wear to the finishin areas, but on the whole it looks nice and is free of any damage, including the knob at the bottom.The door functions properly. It requires more effort to close it from fully opened, but at that point theweight of the entire door is hanging in the back, weighing it down. The rest of the movement is smoothand effortless. The backside and bottom of the unit show typical wear. The bottom has a divot on the rightedge where there was once a knot; otherwise, all is in good shape. When we acquired this piece, the interiorcontained only one worn shelf. This original shelf has been sanded and stained. A second upper shelf was customcrafted using period accurate oak from the same era. The rest of the interior is very good overall. There is no damageor excessive wear to be found on the sides or back, and they look fine from top to bottom. The horizontal base sectionhas two partial circle marks near the center. To the right, what appears to be wear is actually an imperfection in the wood.Please see the pictures for further details.
