Yes, I'd guess you'll have no trouble finding takers for both---there are definitely lovers of old stoves and steel cabinets out there! How much you'll get for them depends on where you live, what kind of condition they're in, and how common they are in your area, but if you run an ad on your local Craigslist (and see what's already on there) you'll get a better sense of it. There's bound to be someone going for a vintage look on a budget who will love them. You might also be able to find someone who will come remove them in exchange for taking them out of there, which could save on demo and disposal costs, too.

Yes, someone somewhere will want these. You might just find though that brand new stuff doesn't last or hold up as well as your "will not die" cabs or range.

Someone recently put some metal cabinets up on craigslist in my area. They were turquoise, someone snatched them up within a week.

If you can't sell them, donate them to Habitat for Humanity Re-store.
Good luck!

At one point I was seriously considering actual vintage metal cabs for our kitchen but could never come up with as many as we needed, so wimped out and are doing white thermofoil slab fronts in hopes of approximating the look.
I know CL is a good place, and ebay as well. You can google "architectural salvage" and see what is near you. You may get some good money for them if they are in decent shape.

Sure - but it's not huge and you'll have to do some work to market them.

I'd love to know where you are. . .
My DH would like to get some more of these cabs. (We currently have 1 sink base w/ enamel sink that we are very fond of.) They are such sturdy cabs. Is your stove a 6 burner? I just posted a newer vintage stove we're considering on my thread "mom of 6" here at GW.

LF - just curious... where are you and how wide is your sink cabinet?

YES! There is a whole 'cult' out there who would snatch those up. I am in that group. If anyone is looking, I know where there is a sink base w/sink. North Iowa.

The following is a link to the postwar steel cabinet forum on Retro Renovation. I think her site is hard to navigate and it isn't easy to see that you can post cabinets for sale there or at least get an idea how much they sell for.

I sent the same route as Marcy and put my St. Charles cabinets in my laundry room. They are fantastic cabinets and look like the day they were put in (1964).

Large kitchen with lots of cabinets. Would like them to find a new home and not be trashed.

I have a single white upper metal cabinet and the original metal cabinet for a cast iron double dish drainer sink.. .wish I had more.

there is an architectural salvage place in Kalamazoo that has had these on occasion.

If anyone has white or tourquoise metal cabinets I'd be interested. I'm in northern Indiana.

Hi -- I'm in the market for metal cabinets in good shape. I'm in Asheville, NC, but am willing to get a truck and come to you.. We're re-doing a house circa 1960 and am need of just about everything from that era. THanks!

Dear Leslie,
we are located in Alexandria, VA (possibly driving distance for you) and are just finishing our kitchen renovation and have a complete set of base and wall metal cabinets from 1957. They are generally in good shape considering their age and free of dents, except for some rust under the former sink cabinet that can be refinished. Please see the photo, I can send more if you are interested in buying them for your remodel.
Sincerely, Gunnar

I'd suggest there's a very strong market for metal cabinets.

Check out Garage Journal (website). It's where those of us who prefer to deck out our workshops hang out and you'd be amazed at some of the shops out there. Metal kitchen cabinets would be scooped up very quickly I'd expect.

I have a full St. Charles Kitchen in Melon Green (a light celery color). Excellent condition with only a couple of scratches/areas needing paint touch up. 4 full upper cabinets (8 doors), 1 single upper cabinet (1 door), 1 large upper cabinet above wall oven (2 doors), 2 single upper corner cabinets (2 doors), 2 small cabinet sets above refrigerator and stove (4 doors), 4 lower drawers (circular pull outs), 1 set of lower cabinets under the sink with one pull out shelf (2 doors), 1 set of lower cabinets under the counter top stove with 4 pull out shelves (2 doors), 1 lower cabinet with two shelves (2 doors), 2 large drawers under the single wall oven, 1 large bread drawer, 1 large drawer with 3 sections for pans, 5 standard size drawers. All original hardware. Contact me at kelly.salomone@yahoo.com if intersted in purchasing. Best offer. Available immediately. New York state.

Best place to get the word out are retro sites like www.retrorenovation.com

Does retrorenovation still have their classifieds section? I always had trouble finding it on their site. I still have the 1963 Frigidaire Flair stove from Dad's house, would love for it to go to a loving new home rather than the dump.

Due to renovation we have a complete St Charles Metal Cabinets kitchen for sale - please email me for more details at jasperhelling@gmail.com

I’m sorry I don’t. My contractor removed them and it seemed that they just unscrewed them from the wall. They also have screws connecting them to each other. I hope that helps.

Anyone have an idea what a fair price would be for these cabinets. These were in my childhood home in the 50's and my recently deceased father had kept them in the basement of our home.
