FREE Surplus storage cases for rolled-up drawings: getting on Caltrans list



Hi, List !

There will shortly be made available "to a good home" 8 heavy-gauge steel
storage cases for rolled-up drawings (& other things that can be rolled up
without damaging them), made a LONG time ago by "Hamilton Manufacturing
Company", of Twin Falls, Minnesota.

Dimensions of case:

     Height         Width          Depth

     15 1/2"   55 /14"   44 1/2"

Drawers:  130:  5 X 26

Dimensions of drawers:

     Height         Width          Depth

     1 3/4"         1 3/4"         43"

Made of:  steel:  1/32" thick

Enameled gray

In EXCELLENT condition

 As far as I know, NO ONE in the WORLD makes storage cases like these -
with pull-out drawers - for rolled-up drawings.  They are in almost perfect
condition.  I am letting you folks know this because these storage cases
are UNIQUE, and would be perfect storage cases for people who need
something in which to store rolled-up drawings, or other items.  These
cases are much better than the rather unsatisfactory storage cases made
nowadays to store rolled-up drawings.

(Hamilton Manufacturing Company no longer makes these cases - IF the
company doing business under that name is the company that actually used to
make these wonderful storage cases.)

These 8 storage cases are now surplus.  They are the property of the
California Department of Transportation, and will be offered first to state
agencies here in California.  Storage cases left unclaimed by state
agencies will next be offered to non-profit, tax-exempt organizations that
qualify to be on a list.  I am sending this notice out so that you will
have a chance to acquire these unique, very useful storage cases for your
organization.  You will need to fill out a 10-page form.  I was told that
not all non-profit, tax-exempt organizations will qualify to be on this
list.  It is worth your while to try to be placed on this list, because
such organizations that qualify will be allowed to acquire items before the
general public is allowed to take them.  IF your organization does NOT
qualify, you can still go to the site with the general public, and have a
chance to get some VERY useful, UNIQUE storage cases.

To place your organization on the official State of California Surplus
Property list, please contact:

I have no idea how long it takes to get onto the official surplus list, but
it is well worth the effort.  I also have no idea whether or not anyone in
any state department would have any use for these cases.  I just wanted to
let all of you know that these wonderful cases will be available to
qualifying organizations after a while, so that you would have a chance to
get the paperwork done in time to qualify to acquire these cases before
they are offered to the general public.

Good luck !
