Antique Gutmann Apothecary Pharmacy Cabinet Showcase Bar Back General Store 13

  
Here's a section of the interior from a former local Pharmacy of the 1920s. This was a unit that framed in part of the "behind the counter" employee area and was built by Gutmann Store Fixtures. My photos are the worst, I wasn't able to properly set this up for the pics, I apologize but I hope you can see the potential. This is a large unit measuring 13.5' long and the top and base do separate as shown in my photos.

The base consists of 40 drawers and is in excellent shape all around. There is one piece of black kick panel base trim missing on the left side. Very easy replacement, otherwise the entire base and all drawers are nice.

The top has a lot going on. There's Cabinet doors to display on shelfs, there's vertical lights, there's a center window, and a display shelf area below that. The curved glass is etched on perimeters. There are some things that it needs.

The long narrow display area under the center window is missing the sliding glass doors but does have the interior glass shelf. The vertical areas with lights have Walnut wood panels that cover them (which are not shown but are included). I believe they were a later addition because I think originally that white glass would have been in place instead of wood covers. There is one of the adjustable wood shelfs missing inside the right side cabinet, easy replacement. The top trim panel actually consists of the two long decorative Burl Walnut pieces shown separate.

These need to be cut down in length to fit this unit but that is an easy fix too. Lastly, some of the electric wires on the top had to be cut during the demo but I was told that all the lights worked. All the things that are wrong with this top unit are easy fixes for any mild tinkerer and cake work for anyone with experience. The base and top unit are the same length at 13.5 feet across the front. They do separate into two units and the base alone is 15.75" deep x 41.25" tall.

The top unit has a depth of 12" and then the little counter piece along the front juts out to makes this a total of 15.5" depth. The height of this unit is 58" but with some reconstruction you could easily shorten the top by another 8" to 10. Overall standing height assembled as it is right now is 8' 4. This unit still looks great and has nothing but upward potential.

A few minor tweaks and a good detailing and this will be the centerpiece of your space! Both the top and bad unit are structurally solid and still have excellent finishes.
