This is the harder-to-find 8-compartment "Rotabin" — most you see have 6. Dating to the early 1900s, this solid cast iron piece was used in general stores and hardware shops to organize nails, screws, washers, and small parts. The extra compartments make it even more functional as a modern organizer.
