I am not a collector or expert on this stuff in any ways but I can't find anything like this on the internet or even find this company logo anywhere. It seems to be a fireproof safe or cabinet but I can't figure out exactly what for or any details about it. Anyone have ideas?
-
Can we see a close up of the logo/label and a pic of the inside please !! Knowing the size will help too !!
-
Here are pics of the logo and the insides. There are matching doors on both front and back (passthrough) and it is approx a 2 foot cube.

Also it's two chambers and not one large one.

I believe what you have is a X-Ray cassette transfer cabinet that was installed between a X-Ray room and the darkroom. One half of the cabinet was for unexposed film and the other half was for exposed.

Thanks. I googled Buck X-Ray and found the logo on one of the old cassettes.

Nailed it Rauville!!!! Beat me to it! :)
Buck X-ograph Company (St Louis, Missouri) made pass thru cabinets for x rays, x ray drying and specimens (of all sorts) etc. They holds lots of patents dating from 1911 to 1930's. Are noted in many hospital supply catalogs.

The X-Ray machine I learned on was a 1950`s Picker X-Ray !! When I changed and started working at a different Dr`s office we used a 1939 Keleket X-Ray machine !! That was a monster machine !! This must date to about the same time period !!
