Vtg MCM Parker Pen Wood & Glass No. 318 Display Case By Ressinger Ferrill & Co

  

This listing is for a hard to find Vintage Parker Pen Wood & Glass No. 318 Retail Store Display Case. It was designed By Paul Ressinger and made by Harve Ferrill & Co in Chicago USA. It has a great 40s-50s (possibly late 30s) early mid century style, quality craftsmanship, and a compact design coupled with a manageable size making for an excellent display piece.

It is made out of solid hardwood, with a hinged locking metal back for access to the contents within. Glass panes allow the viewer to gaze upon the collection within.

A lightbulb is concealed behind the upper pane- which originally would have had the word "Parker" on it- which illuminates the entire ensemble. The design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won't have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor. It is in good condition, with no major damage. It does not have its keys, lock could be picked, drilled, or tested until a match is found (Id bet its a universal key). Electrics are completely untested - wire is a little crackly so I would recommend a full rewire, an easy job once unlocked. Some light areas of separation on a few seams - an issue easily fixed with woodglue once unlocked, or could be left as is as its not too serious.

Thank you for your consideration, I appreciate your time. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements.
