Exceptional J.W. Winchester and Company Display Case
This lovely curved glass counter top display case measures 60''x21 1/2''x10'' overall with two lockable folding access doors. The oak case has sectioned glass panels with wooden arch supports providing a relatively unobstructed viewing area. The case is lined with a two section woven fabric covered bottom that has horizontal patterns of yellow, brown and gray stripes all varying in size and the display area measures 55''x16 3/4''. The case is adorned with antique bronze hardware with each access door keyed alike and two skeleton style keys are provided. J.W. Winchester and Co. started manufacturing custom handmade cases in Valley Forge, PA 28 years ago before moving the shop to Ojai, CA where they stayed until a water shortage forced yet another move about eight years ago and they are currently making antique display cases in Fredericksburg, Texas. These exceptional cases are wonderfully crafted by a husband and wife team and after a brief conversation with the owner Jeffrey Slobodian, he informed this writer that these lovely curved glass cases of all sizes are going to be discontinued from his catalog. So this is your opportunity to pursue a hand crafted case by a true craftsman that will be a focal point for your collecting interests.
