Desirable Glass Winchester Store Display Gun Cabinet - This factory store display cabinet was manufactured in the early 1900s to aid Winchester
dealers in displaying
their Winchester long guns. There is a patch
of residue on the bottom of the floorplate where a maker’s marked plaque
is sometimes found. It is constructed of oak, with full length glass panels and a cathedral top with glass panels. The top frame of door is stamped with the number 163. The number on the door was the original identifier assigned to these types of cabinets. It stands approximately 73 inches in height on four legs with the typical brass feet sheathes absent, and each side is approximately 18 inches wide. The
inside display height is approximately 45 inches.
On the inside is a four sided rack that will hold 20 long guns. All four sides are 5/8 inch thick and are marked “WINCHESTER” in white
and black bordered red letters with black lettered “PATENT APPLIED FOR” on
a white background below. The bottom of the case and the inner edge of the rack is lined with original green felt. CONDITION: Fine overall, with crazing/crackling of
the original varnish overall, some minor storage/ handling dings and scratches scattered throughout, a
few scattered minor chips visible on the top edge of crown, original felt showing mild age fading, and clear intact glass. The decals are very fine and original. An excellent way to display your Winchester collection! Estimate: 14,000 - 22,500
