Original family ownership’s offering – a beautiful, vintage (1940’s), Piece No. 4520, handmade “Genuine Cedar-Master” double door, solid red cedar gun cabi-net / armoire / wardrobe closet. It is Piece # 4520 by Jasper Cedar Company (Philadelphia, PA). Photo no. 6 shows "4520" in white chalk; photos nos 6-7 show typed "4520" in the lower left corner of the Jasper Cedar Company shipping label. CONDITION: VERY GOOD+. The exterior solid wood is beautiful with a shiny, light, character-rich vintage color that showcases the cabinet’s natural, wood grain pattern.
This farmhouse/country style gun cabinet / armoire features a molded, shaped cornice over a pair of cedar-planked cabinet doors with black finished metal hardware. The original lock, keyhole escutcheon and key are included and are in perfect working, locking condition. The cabinet doors open to reveal a full length, single storage space with a removable wood pole for hanging clothes. The cabinet rests on bracket feet. It is marked “Genuine Cedar-Master” on the interior right side door (photos nos. 4-5). The cabinet has a twelve (12) standard size gun capacity & six (6) long gun capacity, with the two (2) wood racks (photo no.11).
The cabinet’s structural construction remains tight, solid and sturdy in its origi-nal, unaltered condition. The cedar front and sides are intact. They have retained their original bright, rich, red cedar finish with minimal, minor marks. There is no chipping, fading, discoloration or staining on their surfaces. The top piece is intact and very clean. The wood backing side is in very good condition. There is a 9” vertical x 1.25” wide missing veneer split/gap section on the back’s lower left side (see photos nos. 20-21). The cabinet’s interior is pristine with no stains, marks, scratches odors or discolorations.
Purchased in the late 1940’s by owner’s father from H & A Woodcraft, Bronx, NY. (See photographs of Jasper Cedar Company green and white shipping label w/ H & A Woodcraft's Bronx address.)
