Is that last one a pie case?

Lawyers bookcase

Its a lawyers bookcase. Kevin beat me to the answer

I was able to purchase these 2 display cabinets from a couple of Old Gassers, a few years back.
The red one looks so much like a Gargoyle oil cabinet, that I had to buy a Gargoyle globe for the top of it! I liked the patina so much, that I left the finish original and just over sprayed it with a satin clear finish. I use it to display a bunch of cans and other smalls!
The green one came from Ebay and another Old Gasser, and was in need of a full restoration when I got it. I photo'd the sticker that was on the front before I had it refinished and I had T-Way make a duplicate for me! I use it to display a bunch of early Cities Service cans and smalls!

Technically...Harrrmph...It's a "Barrister's Bookcase." Thus endth the lecture.

Here is a cabinet a friend of mine and I made last year.

Thanks.

Here is a lubester I made for display a few years back.
It doesn't hold a lot but it's a nice change of pace.

Sweet cabinets everyone!

Just picked up this nice 72" by 72" lighted glass display case. Moved it 175 miles without breaking it. Girl friend and I spent 6 hours today cleaning, moving it and filling it!

Being that I have limited space, I used an incomplete 36B broken parts pump to make the display between the Twin.

I am out of room myself. j

I was going to post this in the buys of the week until this thread came along as I have to get caught up on my latest buys. This is the story of why I bought this and how. Here lately I've had a rash of Gramma's and parents bringing over little kids to the house. Well I had several globes sitting on the coffee table and the end tables. The little kids just loved them but the ladies in charge of the kids just about had heart attacks. So I decided I had to do something. I went on the internet and looked for a cabinet. I found a company that had just what I wanted with free shipping. I didn' know it at the time but the company was from Vancouver BC, anyway I ordered it. I didn't know they didn't stock anything but ordered it staight from the factory in Michigan. After waiting for a month I started calling them. I was sure I got scamed. A total of six weeks went by until a snowy Sunday morning came a delivery company from North Carolina brought it in and sat it right where I wanted it. All is well now and I love it. Here is the results. The first picture without the globes and the second with. Mitch

Here are a couple of mine.

Here is a cabinet that was in our old shop and is now in storage, even rolls.
