...go for big money usualy!

These are haberdashery stands, they use to hold sewing thread.

Could be used for buttons, medals , pens and so on....

Here is a new addition;

(and again marked "fabriqué en Grande- Bretagne" (made in Britain), just like the globe....!!??)

Not on the small side, but--

Map [or flat file or engineer] cabinets make excellent storage furniture, large ones usually measure 48 inches [122 cm] long by 30 inches [76 cm] or 36 inches [92 cm] wide with drawers about 2 inches [5 cm] deep and up to 20+  drawers.  Nowadays, most available new are made of metal but wooden ones sometimes turn up.  They often break down like old style closed lawyer's book shelves into 'stackable' units of 4 or 5 drawers each.  Cost new depends on supplier & quality anywhere from $100-$200 per unit.   Still, a saving over similar custom built items, unless [like some of our members] you have cabinet-making skills.

Used ones sometimes available via estate sales or public office [land records, military installation or surveyor] liquidation/upgrade sales.  

Metal one usually have a sort of acid free paper mat drawer lining; wooden ones often are not lined.   They are heavy, bulky but very useful.

Yes, I have seen them with fellow collectors.

I don't mind the "heavy, bulky " but I do like them with a bit more character (sexy!(lol!!))...!
