I have just purchased this set of draws..It seems an elderly lady inherted them years ago from her father who ran a shoe repair shop..She was considering throwing them away but decided to see if the auction room considered  them worth including in an auction..A lot of competition including on line bidding..They cost me, but I am happy I walked away with them..I would appreciate any help in dating the draws...thanks

Lovely piece . Well done ..
I'm no expert but seems turn of the century to me

Some good reading on the history of the company here Ken

 thanks Relics..It became a Limited Liability Company in 1897  i get the feeling the draws date from about this period but there again they could have  been supplying these to shops for mant years

 Lovely item that. I especially like the slogan to the side panel. They certainly used their imagination in those days.

It's a beautiful thing.

How do you restore it without messing up the printed areas?

 If I do , it will be carefull use of cotton wool buds
