Globe Wernicke Macey Lawyer Barrister Bookcase Base

Here is an exact copy of a Globe-Wernicke Bookcase (Macey) base in solid oak. I have spent a great deal of money having the cutters made to create these exact copies of these sought-after, turn of the century bookcase bases. The bottom is the hardest piece to find since they were often put in the basement and rotted over the years. I have seen bottoms alone sell for close to $200 on Ebay. The bottom is the least visible part of the bookcase...these bases will stain and finish so well that no one will be able to tell the difference...for much less than what you would pay for an original. These have the notch on the bottom to accommodate molding, and have the design on each end where the metal bands fit. You can see it fairly well in the picture. Like I said, they are just like the originals. 

This auction is for either size "C" (which is the smallest front to back measurement), "D", or "E" which is the largest that Globe made. If you buy one, you will need to tell me what size you want....I also need to know if you want it in straight or quartersawn oak. The ones pictured are a "C"  and "D"in quartersawn oak.

 SHIPPING:

Buyer pays actual shipping from Cornelia, GA 30531. I use Fedex for shipping. These bases weigh about 20 lbs each when packaged. To get a shipping cost, go to Fedex.com and enter the weight, my zipcode, 30531, and your zipcode. I will ship it either ground or express..your choice. I usually ship once a week, and most of the time it is on Mondays.

These are completely assembled. All you will need to do is sand, stain and finish. 

If you have a 3/4 size bookcase or one of the large file units, I make bases, tops and doors for those, too. Please email me with your needs..

I also have other components for these bookcases...knobs, hinges, and side straps and even exact reproductions of the oak channel for the bottom of each stack (in case yours is warped or broken). Check out the quartersawn doors I have listed. Please ask any questions before bidding.

NOTE: I make each of these to order. I also sell them locally and ship all over the world. As a result, it normally takes a week or so (sometimes two) to get these shipped. I appreciate your patience.
