[Michlib-l] Card Catalog

[Toby Q. Schuler]

Vintage card catalogs are trendy and in high demand and are therefore expensive. I am not an antique expert, but the prices I see in antique stores reflect what is on ebay:

-$300 on up for stand-alone wooden card catalogs with many drawers.
-$50-100 or more for a small unit with just 2 wooden drawers.
-Ones with metal drawers are cheaper.

Here are the ebay price examples. If the link doesn’t work you’ll need to copy and paste it:

I also have someone looking for a card catalog -- and I remember the sad day, many years ago, when we put three of them in a dumpster . ...sigh

I have someone who would be very interested in purchasing an old free standing card catalog.  If you know of one could you please contact me?  Thank you!
