BIDDING IN PROGRESS
OPENING BID
a vintage wooden index card filing box, likely dating from the early to mid-20th century (circa 1920s–1950s). These were essential office tools before the digital age, used for organizing library catalogs, customer records, or recipes.
Identification Features
-
Design & Construction: The box features finger joints (also known as box joints) at the corners, which were a standard sign of high-quality, durable mass production during this era.
-
Interior: The green felt lining is a classic feature of executive or "deluxe" office equipment, intended to protect the contents and reduce noise. The adjustable metal "follower block" inside is designed to keep index cards upright even when the box isn't full.
-
The "50L" Mark: This typically refers to the storage capacity or model size. In stationery manufacturing, "L" often stood for "Long" or indicated a specific series of cabinets designed to hold approximately 500 to 1,000 cards depending on the manufacturer's scale.
Estimated Value: R450 - R750
