Edward Roos cedar wardrobe closet

The door opens from the bottom and rolls open

I just purchased this wardrobe off of craigslist. When I got it home I saw that it was stamped Roll Roos Robe Patent number 1718585 Forest Park. As I researched it I realized that it must had been made by Edward Roos (known for his chests). However, I am puzzled because I cannot find anything about these wardrobes, nor can I find another one like it on the internet. I would live any information about it and if it is a rare item...has anyone seen one like this before?

I also have one of these that looks identical to yours. It is a very nice piece and have asked a couple of antique dealers about it. All they tell me is that they have never seen one. I think that we have a very rare find. You may contact me if you want me to send a picture of it. Jimmbo409@gmail.com Thanks
