Description
Sharecropper's collapsible cabinet/ pie safe. This type of cabinet was often used by sharecroppers and others who traveled often. It was collapsible so that it could could be easily slid into the back of a wagon or rail car. Sharecroppers moved around a lot to get work, so they had portable furniture. It could be folded and lay flat on the back of a wagon, and things could be loaded on top. Also heard, they were popular in the big cities because it would fold flat and if they lived on the 3rd or 4th floor, it made moving in easier. Pictures from inside show the hinges and a paper sticker with a date. I can not find a brand name on it, but it appears that there was something on the back of it at one time. It has 3 bolts on each side that go from the front of the cabinet to the back and hinges on the inside. Removing the bolts allows the cabinet to fold up, although I am unaware if this one was ever collapsed. Dimensions: 36 inches wide 13 3/4 inches deep 72 3/4 inches high
