Description
This was my mother's Hoosier and I frankly know very little about it other than I remember she was very happy to have aquired it many years ago now.
I looked for markings that might indicate the manufacturer on the back and underneath the top and didnt find anything. I was hoping someone here could give me an idea on who made it when and what an approximate value might be.
Thanks!

Re: Hoosier Value
These free-standing kitchen cabinets are collectively referred to as "Hoosiers" , after the Hoosier Manufacturing Co. of New Castle, Ind., which was the first to produce these cabinets beginning in 1903. Few kitchens the early years of the 20th Century until the 1940's were without one of these labor saving devices, so they still survive in large numbers. They sell now in the $600.00- $1000.00 range.
