Our house has been too modified over the years to retrofit - it's more Spanish hacienda than 1950s cottage. The cabinets (oddly) are outside, mounted as storage and painted over. That's why I know I wouldn't want them in a working kitchen - they simply aren't deep enough for my uses!

Have you tried contacting the Mullins Manufacturing Corp.? Or, whomever bought them out. They were created in a merger with Sharon Steel in the 1930s - Sharon Steel filed for chapter 11 in 1995 and were bought by Caparo Inc.

Caparo Inc. still exists . . . http://www.caparo.com/en-gb/index.aspx
