What to do with extra type cases?
Fellow Briar Pressers:
I recently bought what turned out to be some of the old Sheboygan (Wisconsin) Vocational School’s print shop. Along with the all the goodies, I have also received a number of empty type cases that do not have a cabinet to call home.
What are your suggestions for them? I would rather they go to another printer than to a crazy crafter and hung on a wall full of knick-knacks.

I have a cabinet that is missing 10 drawers. What would you want for them.
Jes:
From what I can tell, these are all Hamilton cases.

3. Open case - These cases are gutless. They may have been California Cases or some other types (as seen by cutouts in the frames) but they have been gutted. Some of these cases may have up to three dividers hot glued in them from front to back. 19 available.
