This is no ordinary antique oak cabinet. Painted on the front of its 2 solid wood doors you'll find the words
O.F.H. Warner & Company
Quality
Service
Established 1875
Wholesale Paper
Baltimore Maryland
Inside you'll find the cabinet is packed to the absolute maximum capacity with books both hardback and soft full of every type, weight, style, color and variety of paper available in the late 1800's
There are book cover samples, wedding invitation samples, envelopes of all sizes, cardstock samples, entire booklets of index card samples, shipping tag samples, bristol samples, formal announcement samples, stationary samples, ruled paper, lined paper, blank paper, and so on each in a variety of colors!
And each piece of paper is unique. There isn't a single duplicate in the whole cabinet to my knowledge
For more photos of the cabinet itself and the contents of each book you can go here

I'll be continually adding to the collection as time permits in the coming weeks and months so check back often if you're interested!
This is the holy grail of paper ephemera collecting. Inside this cabinet is quite possibly every single style, color, and variety of paper that was commercially available 110+ years ago.
Every. Single. One
To get it all to fit, everything literally has to be in a specific drawer or slot. If something gets put in the wrong place, it simply won't all fit. Thats how full this cabinet is.
I have attempted to research O.F.H. Paper Company at length and have found next to nothing about them other than a few mentions in paper industry manufacturer listings from the late 1800's
I have tried to find another cabinet like it, and haven't even come close. I don't know that another exists. If you know of one, convo me, as I would love to speak with the owner of it to find out more about this lovely piece of history.

Or if you have any info you could provide me on the cabinet, O.F.H Warner, or anything else, simply click the link below to convo me.
