Master Cutting Table, 50 W. 27th St. near 6th Ave. (2002)

Master Cutting Table was located at this address from 1962/63 until the business closed in early 2007.

They bought and sold gold stampers, Rossley button and wire stitchers, framing machines, foot presses, cementers, clicker blocks... Click here for sign on door.

In 2004 I got this shot of the Master Cutting pickup truck with a side panel proclaiming "Our 50th Year!"

This photo was taken through the grating at the ground floor level in Oct. 2007, while posted flyers announced Store for Rent / Whole Building for Rent. By this time the signs in the second floor windows had been removed. What with the wholesale devastation of nearby 6th Ave., one suspects that the building is due for demolition soon...
