Description

Oak (?) four-shelf bookcase with metal bonds at sides. Maker identifies as Wernicke System on label in front of top shelf and stampe on the mated bonds on the outside. This is also identified as an "Elastic Bookcase, Pat'd July 21, 1896," presumably because the shelves appear to interlock. Three of the glass doors are missing. A mechanism on the inner right of the shelves will lock the glass door when closed; DO NOT CLOSE!
