Just for accuracy, I believe it should be 'old man' for more than one reason.

By the time the Unique cabinets were introduced, the large pegs may have been made of cardboard, but you can easily tell by looking at your drawers. If there are centered holes for screws, then there was at least a base (possibly wood) to hold the peg. If there's a routed channel, it was a peg made entirely of cardboard. In either event, you might be able to find cardboard tubes in the appropriate diameter, and if necessary cut circular wooden bases for them.Victor z wrote:I was able to purchase an example of the Columbia Unique Cabinet NO 3 which was outfitted to hold 30 grand cylinder's. The pegs to hold the cylinder's were removed. You can see in the fabric drawer lining where the pegs originally were. Does anyone have an example of this style cabinet? I am looking for the exact measurements of the pegs and also would like to know what type of wood they were made out of. Has anyone reproduced these pegs?
They certainly don't show up very often! I have a couple, only one of which I display: They're big and bulky alright. My other one has been sitting in a closet for the past 13 years. I don't think these were salesman sample cases, since Hawthorne & Sheble offered them alongside cases and pasteboard boxes for standard-size cylinders for home use.DGPros wrote:I have a 5" salesman double sided cylinder carrying case. It's not in the best shape, but I would hazard a guess that they are also quite rare. She's rather large and bulky.
