Are you looking for an age, manufacturer, other uses, current value, etc,. It seems to be vague what you are asking help for. Also, if you could post a picture, that would be helpful too.

Yes, a photo would do wonders for this one.

I am familiar with Hoosier style cabinets. The tambour usually covers the middle area (flour sifter, spice rack, sugar bin etc.) Cabinet doors above and cabinet door/drawers below. Could this much tambour be a retrofit?

I'd have to say that things have been modified on that cabinet too. I've seen about a half dozen Hoosier Cabinets and yours doesn't fit the pattern. Also, that stamp looks pretty modern. My guess is it's a knock off.
I saw one Hoosier, in pretty decent condition, sell for over 900.00 at an auction shop.

Just looking at the pictures that you provided, this does NOT appear to be an authentic old Hooser cabinet. I think someone is trying to pull wool over your eyes. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

I've never seen one with that many tambour doors. It's not typical for a Hoosier.

typical for them to have one tambor door yes...Did colonial cabinets make cabinets or the hardware on the cabinet?

The catalog images are fantastic to look through. Anyway, this one has a lid that opens at the top, a tambour door that slides to hide or expose the speaker fabric.

I think a few things don't look quite period.

Looks modern but can we see a pic of the 1904 tag?
