Listed on 2023-09-17 for starting bid of $600 with a purchase price of $795.00. With $100 shipping to Los Angeles from Bartow, FL.<br /> In excellent looking condition. Restored?<br /> two drawers, but each one has two rows of cards, so technically four drawers.
Missing card catalog rods, so likely used for something other than cards at one point.
Cost per drawer: $150 per "drawer" at the opening bid price.
