American Bolt&Screw Case Co. of Dayton, Ohio, USA.
Late 19thC- early 20thC (1890-1910).
Finally patented in 1903 by George W. Chaffin.
One-of-a-kind piece of USA manufacturers of cases, complete and in perfect condition with revolving system. Octagonal shape for the upper part with 80 triangle drawers. Squared shape for the lower part with 24 drawers.
Unique design: the eight-sided fixture rotated on an octagonal base around a vertical axis. In addition to this, it also featured the construction of triangular shaped drawers for extra compartments which accommodated the many different sizes of mass-produced bolts and screws. Once built, each compartment was adorned with two carefully stenciled numbers that correlated with the measurements of whichever products lay inside.
This layout proved to be incredibly successful as the rotating caddy allowed customers to easily search for their desired hardware.
Base 77x77xH68 cm – octagon diameter 77xH116 cm – full height 184 cm
