How is this one, Retro Renovation readers? I recently scored a full box of est. 1960-65 era GE Textolite laminate samples, absolute mint condition unused. This is the first bunch — the others aren’t so over-the-top FABULOUS, but still are great gauges of what to look for. OMG. What else do I need to say. We can all eat our hearts out, together, on this one. This post originally ran on Jan. 4, 2008

Love it! I grew up in an apartment in Chivago in the mid/late 80s-early 90s and we had the gold & white speckled laminate on our counters-I loved it! And a hudee ring around the huge sink. Funny I always thought it looked 70s to me. Must’ve been the gold in the countertop mixed with the darker cabinets. I think the cabinets reflected more of the “frontier/ colonial” 1970s fad. Every time I see a countertop vaguely similar I get excited. Great memories!
Is there anywhere to purchase the golden nugget laminate countertop material if so what is the contact information. Thank you
No, John. There are no sparkle laminates — laminates with real glitter inclusions — available on the market today in the U.S. that we know of. See this story — https://retrorenovation.com/2015/01/13/3-midcentury-home-design-products-bring-back-now/
Thank you Pam for your help!!
