Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted July 28, 2011 Posted July 28, 2011 It's an antique mail sorting table, from Chicago. The boxes are labeled Sears, Aldens, M. Wards, Hyde Park etc etc. I don't have it set up yet with equipment, but couldn't wait to show it off! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/BlackPowderPulp/IMG_0310.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v504/BlackPowderPulp/IMG_0311.jpg

Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Speedy Delivery!!! Soooo cool!! CPK
Big Jake1001 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 That's a clerks sorting case. I was a clerk for the U.S.Post Office from 1972-1979, then a letter carrier till 1999. They use the pigeon holes for sorting letters laid flat and letter carriers put letters in upright in 1 inch slots 48 inches across. Just sayin' Big Jake
Grizzly Dave Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Retasking old stuff is just plain cool. Nice find.
Paladin Gun For Hire Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Wow, What a neat idea, must find one soon. This sport is driving me crazy. Maybe I should back away from the computer.
Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Nice, it has "a place for Everything".
DocWard Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Wow, What a neat idea, must find one soon. This sport is driving me crazy. Maybe I should back away from the computer. I'm guessing it is too late for that.

They use the pigeon holes for sorting letters laid flat and letter carriers put letters in upright in 1 inch slots 48 inches across. Just sayin' Big Jake Yup! I carried the mail in Stone Mountain, Georgia back in the early 70's and this brings back bitter/sweet memories. I was hired full time but only as replacement for people on their day off. So...I never had a permanent station that I could memorize. It was always somebody else' station for just a day. Wheh!...Wore me out! Always wonder what would have been if I'd made a lifetime of it. At least it added to my Total Federal Service Time when I became a fulltime Federal Employee which brings my Service Comp Date back to March of 1974. The retired Lt Col's in my office just hate that Anyway...It's a really nice loading bench and you've got room for more stuff than you probably need
Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 Pretty Sweet. Great storage spaces! It looks like you might need to extend the shelf out a bit to make more counter space for presses and such.
Noz Posted July 31, 2011 Posted July 31, 2011 I gots one and you're gonna have to beef it up to use as a loading table. Not near strong enough for the way I use them.
