My wife & I just moved into our "new-old" home, and I was pleased to discover that our cabinets are in fact Wood Mode oak cabinets, and near as I can guess, made after 1956. They needed a good cleaning, but are pretty much intact. They'll definitely be staying! Hi Pam.

I just found this site and this particular article and thought "hmm, that picture looks familiar". I then opened the picture files of the 50-60's ranch my wife & I just purchased and we have the exact cabinets as shown in the illustration! I wish I could post a picture. When we first saw the house I thought they must have been a from a 70's renovation. I guess I'll have to rethink the kitchen remod I had planned. Incredible!
