John a. Colby was a cabinet maker in Chicago beginning in 1879. In 1885. The name was changed to John a Colby and sons. His furniture factory closed in the 1920s. Colby’s then became a retailer for other manufacturers in the 1940s.
There are some examples of furniture by this maker, but not a lot. There are no other yellow cabinets like this out there.
I was so tempted to take my Furniture finish, marking pen and touch up the white spots, but left it as is for the future owner to leave it or touch it up as they please.

My guarantee is that I will be honest about my items and fair with my pricing.
There are three steps involved in research and pricing for me.
1. I use an app called Google lens to take a photo of any item. This will bring up similar items, how they are described, and how much they cost.
2. I do a Google search for the name of the item.
3. I do a search for the item by name on this site to learn about other similar items.
Since I am being honest and fair with my pricing, I want you to know about the steps. It will only help by validating my pricing choices.
Feel free to ask me any questions or to make an offer.
Thank you,
