Wow you are good! It does indeed say utility (at least i believe that is what it says, it's semi faded)! Thank you so much for your research and quick response! Wow, what a great community!

Another here that I think may be yours .......is there a name "Utility" or similar, top center??

No interior shots but looks to be the same model (?) name and drawer front joins ..........


Sold for $81

That would most likely date from the early 20th century. That is a nice one and the oak and brass will clean  up very nicely. I would put a retail value on it of around 100.00, give or take. Those are great in the kitchen for holding spice jars, recipes or for many other uses. I saw one with fishing weights sorted in it.

Oh wow, thank you so much for the quick reply and assessment! Highly appreciated frogpatch! Thank you!

Hello all! I just inherited a what I think is an antique filing cabinet for file cards.  There are a few old cards and separators and business cards in it. There is a faint manufacturer logo that I can't make out. I was hoping maybe someone would be able to help me identify the logo and give me a going price of what the piece would be worth. Here are some pictures!
