These are for sale, but I'm posting in Super because I'm interested ini information--
I thought the bakelite Geneva handle thingies were produced early, but the shaded harvest gold paint job looks to be late sixties. Thoughts? Sarah CLICK HERE TO GO TO sarahperdue's LINK on eBay |

Only problem with metal cabinet kitchens is the countertops. All those cut up, different pieces are awkward and unsanitary.
Fortunately it would be easy to order new beige laminate countertops, assemble them with a miter cut for the corner, and install them in place of all those pieces. . .
If they sprayed them, I wonder if they got a paint sprayer and did it themselves. If so, they did a good job with the shading detail.
Something about them says they came this way from the factory. We have to remember that even Sears was still selling metal kitchen cabinets into the 1970s. I would estimate these cabinets as being newer because: 1. The sink cabinet doors are not recessed as was typical in the 50s and early 60s. 2. the sink top is not porcelain but SS. 3. the handles are straight rather that the bent design the more often used in the 50s
But, the stove cabinet IS recessed, so now I'm perplexed.
The other thing is the oven is a new naturals harvest gold which started in '78, so....?
That light screams cheapoo late 90s, early 2000s....
And why is part of the counter-top collage 70s/80s butcher block? . .
Forget what the listing says. Half the time the realtors get information wrong, especially when it comes to dating things. All the realtors see is $$-$$ |

I was interested in consulting the good book that everyone should have and rely on religiously.
.... the 1978 Spring and Summer Sears Catalog.
harvest gold metal kitchen cabinets.
What I would give to be able to order these.....and that wallpaper, and those ruffled curtains.

The base cabinet for the stovetop looks odd with the rest of the cabinets. It's the shape of the sink base of my Youngstown cabinets with the curved front. None of the other cabinets in this kitchen have that. |

Some manufacturers had narrower sink units that had blank areas to each side of the doors, such as these Youngstown models. CLICK HERE TO GO TO CircleW's LINK |

The Tappan wall oven and CT with surrounding counter top replaced the original units in the late 70s - early 80s.
I think all the cabinets are from the original 50s kitchen, notice the High-End Tradewind range hood with auxiliary exhaust intake near the ceiling to catch fumes from the oven etc.

>> .... the 1978 Spring and Summer Sears Catalog. >> harvest gold metal kitchen cabinets. >> What I would give to be able to order these..... Hey, those are my cabinets!!!! I've had a small set of these for a few years - a complete kitchen of them showed up at the local ReStore, and I bought as many as I could afford at the time- one of the base cabinets (#11 in the diagram), and three of the upper cabinet units. That brushed aluminum sticker stripe across them is quite distinctive. I had searched everywhere, but was never able to determine who had made them or when. Thanks for posting those scans! |
