Bay Colony Antiques is pleased to offer for sale this wonderful early 20th century antique Macey Oak file cabinet. The Fred Macey Furniture company was founded in the final years of the 19th century and furnished countless American offices & homes until they eventually closed in 1940. The file retains its original dark Oak finish, and the original “Macey” decal is still intact and in good shape. These combination units with 3 standard drawers and 4 card catalog drawers are more desirable than the standard 4 drawer letter files. The cabinet also retains all of its original hardware, including the working locks & key. All of the original wood tension plates are also still present and can be seen in our photos with the open drawers. Oftentimes these are either removed or rusted and don’t operate very well. We’ve tried every single one on this file and they all operate as intended. The file is in great condition with our only notes being minor surface wear, a small age split on the bottom right index drawer, an old repair to the bottom panel on the back, & some light paint transfer that we didn’t attempt to clean off because it’s not very noticeable and we didn’t want to disturb the finish. This is a letter size file cabinet with the interior of the standard drawers having useable dimensions of 12 1/8” wide x 24 1/2” deep x 9 3/4” tall. The overall dimensions of the file cabinet are 15 1/4” wide x 27 1/4” deep x 53 1/4” tall.
