It's very interesting and worth the effort to save it... Why does "a possible bar" come up in the description??? :? :evil:

How is it known that this is / was actually used for storing gramophone records and not,say, for keeping large envelopes, or a plate rack etc ?

I don’t think that’s a record cabinet.

Actually, on second look, it appears to be a fancy desk with various slots for whatever correspondence, etc. The lower shelf pulls out and there is knee room at the bottom to pull up a chair. However, you could store records in it or use it as a bar... :roll: :? :lol:

I agree.

Who would make a record cabinet with no doors?
Would those front legs support the weight of the records?
Why is there no provision for record storage in the bottom section?

The compartments look unnecessarily tall, compared to the few (presumably 10 inch) records in there...
