Highly Desirable and Exceptional 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. Display cabinets such
as this would have easily
become a centerpiece near
the gun counter of hardware
stores and sporting goods stores
across the nation around the
turn of the century, and they
remain extremely desirable on
the collectors market today
for enhancing the display of a
Winchester collection. There is
a brass Walrus Mfg. Co. Decatur,
Illinois rectangular manufacturer
plaque attached to the bottom. It
is constructed of dark varnished
oak, with full length glass
panels and a cathedral top with
glass panels. The top of door is
stamped with the serial number
for the cabinet “355”. It stands
approximately 73 inches in height
on four legs with the copper
foot sheathes present, 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: Exceptionally fine,
retaining all of the original glass
panels and the wood having
a few scattered light handling
marks and a few minor dings. The
labels and interior lining are all
very fine with minimal fading. This
would be an incredible addition
to your gun room to enhance
the display of your Winchester
collection!
Estimate: 15,000 - 27,500
