This was my grandpa’s. He was a dentist, and later in life got heavily in to lapidary. He used this to store rock slabs, but I don’t think that was the original purpose.
It weighs around 30lbs and is solid metal. It has feet on the bottom that match indents on the top, so designed to be stacked.
Based on the labels on the front of the drawers, my guess is microfilms or some other small flat file – maybe computer cards?
The drawers slide all the way out and can hinge downward before they are actually “out” of the case.
For scale: 6-8” wide, ~18” tall and about the same deep. Didn’t have any bananas with me, sorry.
What is it?!
