Vintage Akro-Mils 50-Slot Metal Parts Cabinet — Loaded With Buttons, Beads, Jewelry Findings & Sewing Supplies
Blue metal organizer cabinet with clear removable plastic drawers, containing a substantial assortment of decorative craft materials, jewelry findings, buttons, sewing notions, and small hardware.
Identification: Attributed to Akro-Mils based on the owner's comparison of its recessed handles, clear plastic drawers, folded metal construction, and interior framing with another labeled Akro-Mils cabinet in their possession. The manufacturer's sticker is missing, so the attribution is based on matching construction rather than a surviving label.
IMPORTANT CONTENTS INFORMATION:
This cabinet contains a large assortment of vintage and other sewing, craft, jewelry, button, bead, and decorative materials.
A detailed numbered drawer map and contents reference have been prepared to help buyers understand the assortment.
Please understand that this reference is a best-effort visual inventory, not an exact piece-by-piece count.
All quantities, sizes, measurements, material identifications, and descriptions are approximate unless specifically confirmed.
Small groups containing only two or three pieces were generally counted more closely. Larger groups were estimated visually and may vary considerably from the stated counts.
For example, an estimated group of 20–30 pieces could differ by several pieces, potentially five to ten or more.
Some materials may be plastic, glass, metal, or other compositions that have not been independently tested.
Individual pieces may also have shifted between drawers during photography, sorting, and examination.
The photographs show the actual assortment being offered, but the numbered contents reference should not be interpreted as a guarantee of every individual piece or its exact drawer location.
If your purchase depends on a particular button, charm, collectible, material, quantity, or small decorative item, please contact us before purchasing so we can attempt to verify it.
