Mee Too! I've got A LOT of work ahead of me...previous owners thought it was a good idea to paint ALL the woodwork and even the original hardware on the doors. SAD.FACE. So needless to say I will be an expert at scraping...and more scraping. But there is light, especially after finding what I think is the original wood blinds. Might be hovering on the edge of obsession now

Thanks so much for the info! It was in the basement of my new old house....it's a 1915 craftsmen and in an affluent neighborhood, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was special ordered and possibly been in the basement. WHAT A FIND! We were lucky enough to find some great pitcher/basins also.

Tables, do you think someone just stuck the National Quality Cabinet plate on there? I cannot find a Hoosier with the glass in the cabinets either.

Ok, on further inspection, the roll up is there, but in need of repair and it appears that it was originally grey. All the hardware looks original with the exception of the pulls on the bottom drawers. There are no markings anywhere besides the metal plate...we pulled it away from the wall and pulled all the drawers out to examine. Where is this cabinet co?!

Oh, and I did try to find this company online and similar pieces with no luck...didn't want anyone to think I hadn't make an effort 
. It was left in the house I just bought...House was built in 1915 so not sure how long it has been here or where it came from. Thanks again.

Hello all, I am looking to get more information on this piece...I'm assuming it's an old ice box/cabinet make by National Quality Cabinets. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nikki
