Hello DA People -
We recently acquired a large number of pieces that were salvaged from the Plycraft warehouse in MA, just before an infamous fire claimed the building. We are having a difficult time identifying one of the pieces. We know that Plycraft manufactured this item in-house, but that is where our knowledge of it ends. It is a bookcase w/ glass shelving. Does anyone here have any insight into what this could be?
Thanks in advance for your help.
-J.

I had one...
Its an étagère or display shelf rather than a bookshelf. Are you sure it was made by plycraft ? I've never seen any attributions to this piece in the past so this is maybe another mystery solved.

Yes, definitely made by Plycraft.
Not only do we have a complete one, but we also have a few unfinished/unassembled ones that were pulled from the building.
Since they did a fair amount of manufacturing for other companies, I'm not sure if it was marketed as their own product or someone else.
Thanks for the insight so far.

I do not have any catalogs, and have never had any personally. I have some contact with some locals who cleaned out the building though, and I'm looking to acquire any paperwork that they took out of there. We will see.
Thanks.
