We've become "Auction Junkies"...the only thing that gets us through the week is knowing that come Friday night we are off to the auction. Most of the time we snag a treasure for the shop...a wool blanket perfect for hooking with, a jar of square nails, or perhaps a child size pressed back rocker. (OK!! So the rocker was a bad idea...who knew it had a gazzillion coats of enamel paint on it!!)
Well, did we score BIG TIME on Friday night or what?! We beat out 3 other bidders to win this fantastic Hoosier style kitchen cupboard. It is a Knetchel Kitchen cupboard made in Hanover, Ontario. We believe it to be early 1930's art deco, but will do a little more research on it. It has some minor damage but we feel confident we can return it to its previous glory. As you can see it still has the flour sifter, spice rack, roll top, and all the original hinges and hardware.

First job is to get it into the workshop and give it a good scrub so we can see what we are dealing with. Cheers, Jackie

Hi-I just finished restoring a cupboard just like this one. I pulled it out of a building that was being burned down. Mine was in really bad shape but I was able to save most of the peices. I'm still on the lookout for a flour sifter and one hinge. I stripped mine down tot he bare wood, my husband had to replace the back of both pieces and the bottom of the base. Mine even had a cardboard insert on the inside of the flour door with information. Have fun.
Sherry Any idea where I can find a hinge or flour sifter?
