The internet's only forum dedicated to vintage steel kitchen cabinets from 1945-1965 -- the #1 go-to site for all buyers and sellers. And new -- a section where Retro Renovation readers can buy and sell other vintage items.

These are early 40s Youngstowns. Interestingly, this company (and others) seemed to market the sink base pretty much as a stand-alone feature for the kitchen. One can only surmise, that housewives had only so much money - and putting it into a very functional sink base -- including those awesome cast iron or steel drainboards -- was a good investment....while they kept the rest of the country or city kitchen, with its furniture style -- rather than fitted -- elements, intact, until they could afford more.
