Here's an unusual cabinet for £12! Anyone seen one before ? Were the internal divisions for cylinders ?

The internal divisions, if original, seem to be an inefficient use of the available space.
Here is some background information about Walliostro's founder Joseph Wallis. He must have been a child prodigy, as according to this website he was born in 1848 and founded the business in the same year :lol: :lol: :lol: .
