I have this gorgeous cart that has no tags i could find, just a stencil serial numbers and a very large "Band Saw" handwritten with spencil under the cart.
I've been told it is made by American of Martinsville It was part of a lot that had a hutch with A of M markings on it, but not this cart. I dont know very well american of martinsville but this cart seems a little too dark urban and manly.
I was browsing some Edward Wormley coffee tables and found some striking style similarities with my cart. After googling "Edward Wormley wheels" i found some of his carts for Dunbar. It looks more like that than A o M tome.
Apparently there's some literature on Wormley at/and Dunbar i should get my hands on.
There's no Dunbar plaque i could find. No hole too for such a plaque. Maybe i didnt look in the right spot. Where should be the plaque?
Also big detail, the matte black laminate panels slide on sides to reveal an electric plaque, white with aluminum frame box with switch button and red light. Theres no marking at all on the box, just an electric wire that needs an extension. So i cant even know what kind of plug/power i have to use with this without making it burn. Ill bring it to a neighborhood electrician that fixes every lamp to have his point of view on the question.
I dont know if it is a plate warmer or a light box? the white surface seems opaque to me but my partner says it is a lightbox. Mystery...!
So, Dundar and Edward Wormley conoisseurs, what do think of this?

What do you mean by a "plaque"?
Is there another word for this? The word in English doesn't have any meanings that would apply to a box of any sort.
Can you post a photo showing the uncovered top more clearly?

I think your partner is very...
I think your partner is very likely right in calling that a light box. As in for examining slides, photo negatives, and that sort of thing.
I am curious if it is original. Does it lift out? And are the cut edges seen from underneath, or after lifting it out look straight clean and crisp, as they would look from the factory? Or do they perhaps look to be executed on a bandsaw post hoc?
