I thought it was a freebie too.... he said he'd looked at many but this one caught his eye because it was beautiful... he's gone begging again... using a bit of PR and the amount of subscribers to CD's who would love to see and hear about this lovely place... The owner did watch CD... job done.

SJ said the drawers/files were made of cardboard... With the amount of damp in that place the next time we see it will be in a state of collapse... soggy cardboard does not stand up...Surely if people want to keep paper files they should be kept in a dry and secure unit... this didn't even have a key... oh but wait it won't need one as you can just cut it open anyway.
I believe it made have been made in the 1930’s or 1940’s. IMHO, I think the name of g. Borg…. Is a name plate or identifier for the store, and it was used in Paris. I believe that name of that store is where they sold other books or some types of documents so the cardboard filing boxes could be used for receipts or other types of things. I don’t know who actually made the cabinet itself but I do not believe it’s the George whatever nameplate on the back of the cabinet ( I could be wrong). That just details the owner/ business who owned and used the filing cabinet.
Is there any talented Tattler who can screenshot it and run it through a Google search to see if they can locate which auction Snorts purchased the cabinet from? We know that it’s either item number 498 or lot number 498, it was shipped to the dump, if it’s been used in a store that was located in in downtown Paris, it was likely purchased by someone in the Parisian area or in France. I don’t know when he actually purchased it online, but snorts mentioned that it was from a house clearance? It sounds like an estate sale of some type. Snorts loves French online auctions.
I don’t know what type of auction sites that snorts regularly and obsessively scans for items to buy for the dump. I would assume that if the item is being shipped to them., It would not necessarily be a heavy item if the majority of it is made of cardboard, it just has a wooden frame, and was probably from somewhere in France.
I would assume it was probably purchased within the last two months, and that the auction company promptly shipped the item to the dump. If the gruesome twosome had to pick it up, it would take them months to pick up the cabinet. I don’t recall what the French word was that Frankenfraudie used to describe the item, le casseurs ( sp?) . I would be very surprised if she actually purchased the item and had the item shipped to the dump for €100. Stranger things have happened, but it is suspicious that Frankenfraudie chose a figure that doubled her previous fake figure a €50 that she uses for everything ( and was busted as a lie on multiple occasions).
The challenge is on for any intrepid Tattler who is willing to undertake the investigative skills to locate this elusive “ bargain.”
