Hard to come by, great find.
What fun thing are you going to do with it?
I always thought they would be fun to use for something.
Maybe kitchen storage or a craft room.

OH MAN, I love those things! Used to work in libraries; loved the old card catalogs. Libraries are getting rid of them now. They are such cool pieces.

How wonderful! I think I would be more than a "wee bit" excited! I've wanted an old card catalog forever. I just don't have anywhere to put it. :(
