It is "One Thing Wednesday" and today I am eyeing this vintage card catalog.
This can be found at Junktiques on Etsy and this store is swimming in great vintage finds.
I love these old wooden and metal card catalogs used in old libraries. I especially like the dark wood on this one with the metal plates.
These look great displayed on desks and add a vintage flair to any room. They also provide for height and dimension and can display additional items on the top surface.
The inside drawers are slightly green and provide a nice contrast against the warmth of the dark wood.
This one is pretty banged up but that adds character and a storyline. I have run across a few free standing card catalogs as well and if I had an empty wall I think it would be an amazing greeting piece. I want to send out a big thank you for your comments and advice on my hunt for the vintage fan. I believe I have found one and cannot wait to tell the story.
Happy Wednesday
Well~How cool is that old piece! I used to love digging through those card files when I was a kid! Diana
