Are you looking for vintage metal kitchen cabinets?

vintage-ge-metal-kitchen-cabinetsI love this photo posted on our vintage steel kitchen cabinet Forum…and I fussed with it to make it look like an old polaroid. These are 1957 yellow GE cabinets, for sale in St. Louis. How many readers have steel kitchen cabinets — are installing them — or on the hunt?

There is also a large set of yellow GEs on the St. Louis C-List for $450.00 that would go a long way toward completing a kitchen for whoever buys these gems. I kicked around the idea of buying them myself and doing a multi color set but decided against that.

Search for: 1950s General electric Kitchen cabinets

And another set with a price of make offer: Kitchen Cabinets – Painted metal

All on St. Louis Craigslist.

Thanks, St. Christopher, I think that St. Louis is shaping up to be a mid century mecca.

My husband and I have been on the hunt for inexpensive metal cabinets for a while now, but the prices just never seem to be right in Atlanta. Luckily, we were already planning a trip out to Missouri to visit my in-laws, so we’re hoping to find an awesome set when we head out there this winter! I check the St. Louis CL fairly often and there are always at least 2-3 great sets for sale whenever I look.

Me! I am but I’m so poor I can’t even pat attention! Its all just a pipe dream for me.

I mean pay attention. What search strings do you guys use for these cabinets on CL? There are several things I try but never come up with anything.

Sixoh, I search for “kitchen cabinets” and sift through the results. It’s time consuming, but I’ve found some amazing sets. If I wasn’t broke, I’d have my dream kitchen by now. Check out this set in Memphis I’ve been drooling over:

Sixoh and Caff. Katie, I use the search: steel cabinets or metal cabinets. There always seems to be at least four sets on St. Louis C-List at various prices.

Try using one of the Craigslist search engines. My current favorite is http://searchtempest.com It lets you search multiple Craigslists based on mileage from a Zipcode starting point, and puts all the results in one page with multiple windows. I use the search terms ‘metal cabinet*’ and ’steel cabinet*’. I am still looking for a few more GE cabinets in in the MD/DC/PA/VA area. I’ve had good luck so far but I don’t have quite enough yet.

Thanks, JSP! I think you may have commented before with this info – and I was just thinking, “Where did I see that?” Great suggestion.
