Biele Showcase in Chile

While the Biele showcase in South Africa still holds the record for the farthest, there is now a close second with a showcase from Chile.

The email shared the following information along with the three photos:

"hola compré hace unos años en Mejillones, Chile un mueble de la fabrica de Charles F. Biele & Sons CO con asiento en New York.

Adjunto fotos, es de madera con su cubierta de acrilico, lo tenia en un museo pero lo traje de vuelta a mi hogar."

The Google translation is:

"Hi I bought a few years ago in Mejillones, Chile furniture factory of Charles F. Biele & Sons CO based in New York.

Attached photo is of wood with his acrylic cover, had it in a museum but I brought it back to my home."

This model is fairly common to others made by Charles F. Biele and Sons.  The second picture gives the address as 379-381 West 12th Street, New York, USA.  The business moved there in 1898 and remained there for the next 28 years.
