1915 US Meccano Dealer's Cabinet
In 2007, I was able to add a dealer's cabinet to my collection. There were no parts, but the glass, parts mounting board, and a few original labels were present. Here are some pictures of the work to restore the cabinet.
NoirProfond has a very similar cabinet, and he helped me with label wording and many other details. His pictures are at his gallery. That is a link.
Addendum: Ron Kurtz has another very similar cabinet in Ontario, Canada, so we now know of three.

The date is based on labels for "Girder Strips"; that was used in 1915, and changed to "Braced Girders" in 1916. Also, there did not seem to be any space for parts introduced in 1916 (flat girders, for example). |

It amuses me that there are two known examples of this dealer cabinet - one now in the country of origin of the parts and the other with you in the country of intended destination of the parts. |

How did you decide the cabinet was 1915? |
