No..............................we have no picture, but.................i can take one.











It seems to be over 100 year old, and was a mess. Now, she will sell it. One door was made. One door was repaired. Two glass are new. Much of the plywood floor and backs were delaminating. The base was falling apart as was the top. Sure like that they used hide glue back then, i used hide glue to heal the base . Glue over glue doesn't work with today's carpenter glues, but works OK with hide glue. One bottom was removed and replaced. It surprised me that the individual boxes are mostly just held together with nails, no glue. She is happy.

There is one more almost exactly like this one to restore. This is a Macey. The other is a Globe Wernicke. The door hardware is totally different. The other one needs at least 3 new doors, if i can repair an existing. Much of the old plywood backs and floor are delaminating. The base of the other one is already reglued, and refinished, awaiting the boxes to stack one by one.

Looks nice Ron. Some of the barrister bookshelves were not really that well made. I want to make some myself when I get some spare time.
