steel kitchen cabinets
Because of my great fascination with steel kitchen cabinets, I also love U. S. Steel, because of the ads they ran during the 40s and 50s promoting steel in all sorts of household uses. Once WWII ended, all that steel capacity had to go somewhere! This branded 5-gallon garbage can gives me an excuse to all showcase one of their ads.

I feel like a giddy archeologist every time a new brand of metal kitchen cabinets surfaces.
I did some cleanup and additions to the Forum this long holiday weekend. Updated count: 45 distinct brands of steel kitchen cabinets from the 1930s through the 1980s! Admiral brand is the latest, with a lone cabinet just listed in the San Francisco area.
Lots of action on the forum in the past 24 hours. Be sure to check every day in the View Today’s Posts section if this topic interests you — going to this spot daily makes it easiest to see the very latest posts with one easy click.
And be sure to let our St. Charles hunters know if you have the odds and ends they are looking for. What goes around comes around.

Scathing Jane in Atlanta is looking for some more St. Charles metal cabinets to build out her set. She’ll send her sons to get them as far as Chicago or anywhere along the east cost, she has a big kitchen to fill. Please take a look at her post on the Postwar Steel Forum, and let her know if you can help.
Let’s turn Jane’s frown, upside down.
Also see, eight Youngstown cabinets listed in Los Angeles. And, a sink base in Boston.

Whoa. What a blast from the past. These vintage Sears — harvest gold — steel kitchen cabinets now are on the Forum.
Also: If you’ve tried to log on to the Forum recently, but were told you couldn’t — my fault. I fixed the issue, and you should now be able to log right in. Sorry to force passwords – you wouldn’t believe how much spam would get in if we didn’t have this.
This is a big set available in St. Louis; also posted last night are big sets in Detroit and Albuquerque, and corrected from last week – a set in Washington state (not Maine).

During World War II, Americans were encouraged to buy war bonds to fund the war effort. At the same time, amid the deprivation of war time restrictions, the country was dreaming of better times to come. And at that front of that list: A shiny new kitchen!
Happy holidays, everyone. I dropped out of the blogosphere for a day and a half, as my family flew down to Florida for a sunny break. I expect to keep posting daily, but no ebay until after the holidays. Please continue to send your emails and comments!
