Small Parts Organizer Appraisal

Vintage Multi-Drawer Small Parts Organizer

This appears to be a vintage or at least well-used multi-drawer small parts organizer, likely made of painted metal (black, as observed) with clear plastic or possibly glass drawers. The overall construction is rectangular and tiered. There are two visible rows of drawers, with what looks like four to five drawers per row, making it an 8-10 drawer cabinet. The drawers are clear, allowing visibility of their contents, which are various small metal components such as screws, nuts, bolts, washers, and other miscellaneous hardware parts. Each drawer has a label holder, some of which still contain faded or handwritten labels. The metal frame of the organizer shows significant wear, including dust accumulation, grime, and possibly rust or oxidation spots, particularly on the top surface. The clear plastic/glass drawers are also dusty and smudged, indicating active use in a workshop or garage environment. There are no readily discernible manufacturer's marks or signatures visible from the image. The style suggests a utilitarian design, common for workshop storage from the mid-20th century onwards. The condition indicates an item that has been regularly used and not recently cleaned, with a noticeable dirty patina. Despite the wear, the structure appears to be intact and functional for its intended purpose. Accessories on top include several vintage-style oil cans and a red plastic cup.
