The Globe-Wernicke Company was formed as a result of the Cincinnati based Globe Files Company (est. in 1882) purchasing the Minneapolis based Wernicke Company, founded in 1893 by Otto Wernicke, in 1899. The company is best known for their high-end bookcases, Desks, & other office furniture. Globe Wernicke established factories in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France & Germany. The company patented the elastic bookcases also known as a modular bookcase or barrister's bookcase. These were high-quality stacking book shelves, with a standard width of 34 inches, in oak, walnut & mahogany, capable of being adapted to fit together to form a bookcase which could either be all of the same measurements or which could be rearranged by the insertion of units of different depths & heights. These glass-fronted shelves are today collectible antiques highly desired by collectors. Condition Report The bookcase is in very good antique condition. It does have some light age-related marks, but nothing substantial. There is a bit of light wear to the top of the lid, but it is not visible when the item is erected.
