This cabinet is a rare and unique piece! Made and marked by Henry H Sheip MFG Co., Philadelphia, PA. Made prior to 1916, before Henry's death and transfer of ownership of his company. Henry H Sheip Co made custom medical cabinets, which is what we believe this piece was originally created for. This cabinet was then owned by a dentist (~1930s-50s) who used it with their practice involving Trubyte New Hue teeth Moulds and as a radiology x ray viewer. The first 4 pull out drawers contain sorted trays of Trubyte teeth. This cabinet has 11 pull out drawers and a boxed in top with access from the back and a glass pane with wax paper. Also has functioning lock lever on the back that locks all of the drawers from opening.

Also includes Trubyte New Hue Moulds paper sheet, projector film, and projector oil.
