A good friend of mine has a 50's style kitchen and has the same sink.

i was planning to have the sink reconditioned and keep it. The kitchen restoration was the last thing on the "list" of restoration tasks in that old 1860s home. Everything else was done.

My grandma had a fin-tail Plymouth with the push buttons. She SO wanted one of us kids to have it,but it was in such bad shape my dad wouldn't take it.

I did a lot of Plumbing work 90 - 94 in DC, in what were known as ' 4 family flats ' they all had these sinks sitting on steel cabinets with a Sterling ledge back faucet .. about 93 the realestate companies started modernizing with those ' oak ' wood cabinets and Stainless Steel sinks

Right off the bat...that sink and cabinet is identical to the one that was in my old house on Saint George's Island

Don't you ever get rid of it. I saw that pic got an olfactory memory of my great-grandmother's house.

Anyway, I know what all that stuff is and still have some of it. Who doesn't have a meat tenderizer and an electric skillet?

The defense homes/townhouses in old Greenbelt were like that.

Anyone post-Boomer who doesn't know how to cook?

When we cleaned out my Grandfathers house in 2001, he still had a 1940s Hotpoint fridge in the basement like this one. Still working.

50 for 50, and still have the kitchen tools and appliances shown.

The cash register is about 30 years newer than the one my grandparents had in their store.

My grandma had a very similar table and chairs in her house. I had an apt in college in the late 90s that had a sink just like that.
My mom had the yellow version of the table and the kitchen we had when we lived in my grandparents house until I was 7 had that sink.

22 is the only one I don't know what it is. The rest I have seen, used, or still use. Some I wish I still had, like the sink from Gradmas' kitchens!
