Very unique vintage chest of drawers, made from old Victor box. Sturdy and on wheels with 7 drawers. Stamped with Bellingham and bought from a Bellingham antique store years ago. Approx 4' tall 3' wide 2' deep. Remodeled home, does not match decor needs a new life with someone that appreciates it.

(Nipper (1884-1895) was a dog who served as the model for a painting titled His Master's Voice. This image was the basis for the dog-and-gramophone logo used by several audio recording and associated brands: Victor Talking Machine Company)

Interesting! I wonder how many years this might have gone unnoticed by the seller! Thanks for posting!

Don't have any pictures now but thirty years ago my wife and I bought and 1880 house outside Indianapolis. The two fireplace openings were covered with plywood. I removed them and leaned them against the wall. It was several days later I noticed printing cut in half along one edge. Victor Talking Machine. I went and looked at the other and it was the full nipper dog. They had probably been there 50 or 60 years.
