WOW!!! What a shame!!
Isn't that beautiful . . . all it needs is a life-sized cutout of Betty Furness standing in front of the refrigerator!

Well It Would Be Nice If Sellers
Held onto the things if they didn't get their price, or maybe work with someone who is serious but short on cash. Otherwise one fears the lot will be sold for scrap.
While Youngstown and other metal cabinets along with the rest of the lot are in high demand, there is always the eternal problem of items being far from where the most interested person lives.
Also with the economy what it is, someone who truly would love to have these items may not have several thousands laying about spare.

My goodness if you have the money to "remodel" and enlarge the house. What in the world would you replace this with? I would leave it intact, and have something much more breathtaking than something you could just go out and buy. I really wish the owner would rethink the plan, they have some idea of what it is worth. Keep it as a holiday kitchen and play some Bing. Id just add an additional new kitchen. arthur

EEESH!
Seems a bit pricey, but if anyone might be interested in this (that Westinghouse sink-dishwasher combination is SOOOOO tempting) and needs me to act as a go-between, let me know! The listing says the kitchen is actually in NH and I am VERY close to both NH and VT....

I would dearly love to add this Westinghouse Electric Sink/Dishwasher to my collection. I emailed the seller last evening, not even having seen the posting here before hand. I received a reply back this morning. I requested additional photos of the Sink and Dishwasher. Perhaps with the planets aligned, and if the seller is willing, we can work out an amicable deal.

Understatement of the day
I think that they are a bit greedy. The stuff is nice, but not that nice.

If I Won!!!
The lottery..you can bet I could build a house around that entire kitchen,who would want anything better,and as far as im concerned...NOTHING is as good as a Youngstown Kitchen, if you compare those cabinets to anything made today,you will see that there is much more room in them, they are better built etc...You know what the old ad says.... Made of steel for lasting appeal!!!

ANTIQUES like antiques.
Other than that wooden window (needs to be white) being a huge eye-sore. It looks great to me!
While it does have a nice period look, there ARE people on the planet who are not stuck in the past! (ducks and runs).
TODAY is the best day of your life!

Hey Toggs!
I make NO apology for being stuck in the past...I like quality!!! Although I did get a new fridge because im tired of fooling with ice trays! But if you suddenly had magic powers, and told me I could be a billionaire...or go back in time to the 50s...well..Id be GONE!!!!!

Imagine going back with today's money and salaries!
I'm wondering what the original owner used as a cleaning agent. Clearly, whomever it was, was a serious clean freak. I'm very surprised that nothing shows wear from almost six decades of scrubbing. Something's not right about that. It's like the kitchen was never used and only got dusted on a regular basis.

It looks like a museum display.
Only missing the mannequins and plastic food.

It's worth remembering that you can't see much from the small photos. There may have been plenty of little dents, scratches, and repairs over the years that can be seen in person but not in the pic. Certainly it has been well taken care of, but there's a big difference between that and museum quality. I would guess that for many years the house was inhabited by one elderly person who did little cooking at home and took real pride in the upkeep of the house.

I thought that was Buns of Steel, or was that just a workout video?
My brother and his partner bought a house in my parents' neighborhood that had been inhabited by an older childless couple for close to 20 years. Every afternoon, she would get in her great big car and drive to meet him for dinner on his way home from work then they would return in the two cars. The shelves in the refrigerator were still taped in the three highest positions. Only the left front 6 inch element on the cooktop had been used for the tea kettle and no washer or dryer had ever been installed; all laundry and cleaning were sent out. So such homes and kitchens exist. My mother's copertone cooktop and oven looked as new on the day we moved her out of the house as they did when we moved in back in 1967. Even the rings around the surface units which were not removable were still shiny and clean with nothing burned on, even on the vertical edge where the element supports attach. Someone asked her in the 1990s where she managed to buy new appliances in coppertone, they looked so good.
This appliance offering reminds me of a building program at a religious institution. As you buy something, you want to ask if you are paying for part of the foundation, a wall, a deck or what and if a plaque with your name is to be placed on the wall of donors.
