Here is a rare, hard to find item for you typewriter ribbon tin collectors. A very old wooden display case for STAFFORD'S TYPEWRITER TINS. It is a beautiful dark wood, oak I believe, but not sure. I'd guess and date this to the early-mid 1900's. It has the very detailed Stafford logo on the two sides and on the back, as well as the same logos on the top two drawers.

Overall, the case is in great shape for its age. The smaller logos on the drawers are not quite as sharp as the larger ones but they are all there. The wood has a few nicks and small scratches here and there and a small piece of wood missing from one of the drawer frames and I think there should be a small piece of molding on the bottom front but no major damage as you can see from the pictures. The bottom two drawers are obviously replacements made a long time ago. They are lighter in color and not the same wood but the were made very well and fit perfectly. It measures about 17" deepx16"tallx12"wide. Not sure of its age but I have had it for over 25 years and I haven't changed a thing. I used it to hold my duplicate ribbon tins when I was an active collector. Not many collectors have this case and it would read more
