Rose City Auto Cabinet


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have recently cleaned out a deceased relatives belongings and have run across something I need help with. It is a black box 28 X 30 X 12. It folds out into a cabinet. It says on it;

Rose City Auto Cabinet

Patent applied for

MFG for M.E. Moffett

Glendale, Calif

Can anyone help me know more about this item?

Is is possibly a portable kitchen for auto camping?

The trunk is old and missing a corner peice. The was some kind of hardware that attached to the tray but I don't know what it was. The center ice bin has a copper drain tube that goes out the bottom. There are mounts on the sides with the bolts to attach it to the vehicle.

Looks much like the back end of a Chuck Wagon when opened up. Wonder if there were originally legs to support the doors once open to create a work area.

I think you are right. It looks like the door opens into a tray/table to work on. The two flaps open to make the table area wider. It would go great with someones older car and it's not in too bad of condition for its age and use.
