• 50s kitchen cabinet hardware — Elizabeth finds chrome pulls, great value

    Dear Pam:

    I wanted to alert you and forum readers to a recent find.

    After the Palm Beach restorer’s comments on rechroming hardware, I decided to seek a modern, replacement pull with the right retro feel for my slab-front cabinet doors. (I’ll need ~36 and couldn’t afford vintage items at $8-12 each.)

    It took a lot of searching. But I finally came up with something in the original 3″ span between holes (4″ overall), with what seems like the right feel:

    Hickory Hardware #P115-26

    And it was at the unbeatable sale price of $1.93 ea.

    Things arrived yesterday, approximately a week after my order, well packed and promptly delivered within the promised 7-14 days. – Elizabeth

    Many thanks, Elizabeth! These look very sleek indeed, and at a great price.

      Am looking for cupboard handles for some old Geneva metal kitchen cabinets.

      I have these in my kitchen, and yes, they were under $2 a piece at Lowes! Love them!

      I just found this super-cool chrome cabinet pull this morning that some of your readers may be interested in. It’s available on other sites but it’s only $1.87 on this one!
