WOW!!!
Stupid question...I believe that Omaha has public power (electric utility). Is the gas utility likewise? I wonder if this might have been a "1950s sample" or something. It's pretty impressive.
OH LAWDY-----
Gansky will just FLIP with this showing up as he FINNISHES his remodeling!
Shame on the Buffets for not synchronizing their remodeling project with Greg!
ACH! What a kool find!

Lovely!!
That sure is lovely, but I know that Greg can't use it; it doesn't include the NuTone stainless exhaust fan.

Oh, make no mistake Nate, I can always add the fan!
I'm very curious what "estate" this came from... It's all gas though and not enough cabinets to do a whole room with. I'm rather shocked at the bidding already - but they are mint. I've never seen a Western Holly appliance around here before, I love that round window!
Electric, gas & water are all public utilities - and VERY resonable. In '05 at the AW.org convention, we used 28,000 gallons of water for the month of June and my water bill was about $45 with sewer fees. Normally, it runs about $25.

if you click on the extra photos link on the listing, you can see more. notice the electric cooktop coils seem to be recessed into the surrounding chrome rings. weird. and look at that wicked heating array under the griddle!
WOW!
Although I must admit to a totally irrational dislike of round oven windows, and the color is a little too "Go Big Red" for my tastes ;-)
But really, really cool nonetheless.
My mom has a "girlfriend" in Omaha who has a 50's kitchen to die for. Nothing like this, but still quite cool. She's closing in on 87, and still cooks in it everyday.
And yes - Omaha utilities are quite publicly owned and quite progressive. My grandfather was a lineman for the electric utility.

It looks like a St. Charles Custom Kitchen - the cabinet handles, latches and construction look like many I've seen around here. These cabinets are extremely well made and very sturdy. I had a client with a St. Charles metal kitchen in baby-sh*t yellow with the Thermador electric oven (same as the one in the auction) and the exact same cooktop but with four burners and controls on the front of the cabinet. We found someone to repair the oven clock and the controls and elements of the cooktop and I repaired the KDP-18 dishwasher which should keep it (mostly) original looking for a long time.

Greg:
Those cabinets are indeed St. Charles. Of all the metal cabinets on the market at mid-century, St. Charles' were the highest quality. I had a St. Charles kitchen a couple of houses ago. In my book "PreFAB Elements", there are some photos of an early St. Charles kitchen installed in Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater"- Wright loved prefabrication.
My St. Charles cabinets were pineapple yellow, with white counters. The cabinets were terrific, the counter colour was a mistake I will never repeat. The kitchen had 33 front feet of countertop and backsplashes that went all the way up to the bottoms of the wall cabinets. I used to go through Windex by the case; keeping all that white WHITE was a real pain.
I still miss that kitchen. All shelves were adjustable, and there were roll-out units for canned goods, pots and pans, and bulky things like mixer attachments. They wiped clean very easily. And they never warped in Georgia humidity; the drawers and doors never stuck or scraped. I do not understand why metal cabinets are so hard to find nowadays- if you've had them, you tend to like them better than any other kind. In my next book, there will be some resources for them.

Oh WOW
Greg as I recall you still haven't installed anything in upstairs yet!!
There's still time to repent and install.
All you need is a few trips over and back with your Van.
Duel fuel cooking is soooo 2007!
GAWD I love that porthole window in that oven.
It just goes to show you there is nothing new under the sun, stainless steel TOL then as it is now.
I'd repaint the cabinets though,can't stand most salmon related things.

Jon, stop it! I've had painted cabinets most of my adult life and now I'm getting wood - come hell or high water! I have no use for standing pilots so the gassy cooking apps. are out of the question.
Now if this were a GE kitchen, that might be a different story - but those are all clean, efficient, whole-house powered electrical living at it's best!

Long live Nutone!
Oh Greg,
I SO agree with you about the NuTone fan. I've seen them used in a lot of high-end kitchen remodels where they simply install one or two of them through the wall at the backs and tops of antique range hoods. Nothing beats the CFMs. My Father installed one in our kitchen in NYC and it just beat the hell out of the weak draw from the range hood.
