Curiosity and endless hours of searching  got the best of me ...so I  decided to take the cabinet apart and have my Hubby cut out the piece of board covering the shipping label.The company  that  shipped  it was... H.J Scheirich,Louisville 9, Kentucky.Sent  to...  Ozark Furniture Co. , 1623 Jefferson,  St.Louis ,Mo
        qty.1 ,no.519,Kitchen   cabinet white&. First part of A. Still havent figured  out what  kind   if a Hoosier it is .I could have a ZZZ  Top to an A.... makin me crazzzy !!!! and my eye sight worse .

That will be my goal KC ...my girls open the cabinet and take deep breathes .Their first comment is," smells like Grandma" her  spices she would put  where the flour sifter is,the flour bin held goodies Grandpa and her ,both hid for the grandkids, when they came to visit.In  talking  my oldest daughter  piped up  "Moon Pies".....Grandma thought their favorite lol.Lots of recipebooks and  loose ones from" the paper" and magazines were kept in the lard drawer?? So many memories and I so want to clean it up and make more memories .My Mother always wanted one of these and my Dad located it for her in Elvins Mo in the 70's.This I fear is going to take just as long as my Genealogy.Talesof Iam going to post pics and measurements of handles, hinges etc.What would anyone suggest to take off the newer paint???,under it the paint is yellowed with age and on the flour bin door is some sort of design I'm just itching to see.

Thanks Talesof  & Sapphire.It does say on the back of the cabinet ..... cabinet no 509 white& redThere are some red handles and some silver .It has been re-painted white ,what I am curious about is on the flour bin  there seems to be some sort of decoration that is peeping  thru,and also about if there was a roll-down door .It appears my Dad did some of his repair work,there was at on time rollers on the bottom to move it and he built a wooden frame,. and nailed it to the bottom.That is where the covering up of the sticker began and after sveral people strainng their eyes we did decipher this information  name  H.J.Scherich,  date 10/07/1952 ,Ozark,1923 So  Jer ,St louis, MO This definitely is a shipping label.What I do want to do is give  it a good cleaning  maybe try and take off this newer coat of paint ,find all matching handles and drawer brackets need replaced   .Mom and I baked a lot of goodies and this cabinet has many memories for us.On the shelf for Ironlord's curosity are a red and white porcelain pot,egg beater as we called them lo l  red and white wooden handle and a sifter .These I found  at a flea market.Any and All information on history,value and the Cleaning of this prized possesion would be greatly appreciated.
