Wow, these are very early steel kitchen cabinets – the ebay listing says that they are from a New Jersey estate, installed in the 40s, and I believe it. Capitol is the name of a N.J. company that was started pretty early…other names from the period are Dieterich and Elgin — you can see photos from 1933-34 for these two companies over on the Forum under All About Steel Kitchen Cabinets — where some 60+ brands are being chronicled. Looking at these NJ estate cabinets – they certainly look like they could be Dieterichs or Elgins.
Any East coast readers with a 30s or 40s home who want a wonderful historical steel kitchen? This appears to be a very desirable set, indeed.
Click on through…9 photos in all… Heck yeah there is more…

These are a great find for anyone working on their kitchen, and who needs corner cubbies. For me to re-make mine in glass cost, like, $650 plus labor.

A big, fabulous set of 1956 yellow GE steel kitchen cabinets just spotted and posted to the Postwar Steel Forum. Looks like there’s a color-coordinated dishwasher, cooktop, rangehood…and mention of a fridge. Drool drool drool. Be sure to take a look.
And remember, if you register and just check in daily at “Today’s New Posts” you can see…what’s new. For newer readers – the Forum is along the top nav bar, at the right!
$1000 is a great price, especially if they are in as good of condition as advertised. Be sure to let us know if you are the lucky one to snatch these up!
