What you have is often referred to as a "Hoosier Cabinet". These were made from just before World War One to the 1930's. They were a really hot item during the late 1980's, but values have since slumped for them. Most today in "As Is" shape sell for less than $500.00.

Exactly. A "Hooser Cabinet" or "Hooser Kitchen Cabinet". Some of these can be quite elaborate with flour sifters, spice racks, sugar and potato bins. This plain one appears to have a cutting board. In this rough condition value around $150-$200.
