Oh, and those slats lying on the work surface are the roll up door that goes in that open space.

Thanks! The baked enamel on steel work surface is white with just red around the rim. Like I said, someone has repainted the other parts a few times through the years so I have some work to do to restore the proper finish. I notice the pulls on Rauville's unit are painted red. Do they usually get painted? Mine are polished metal. Makes me wonder if I need to search for authentic pulls as well.

Tried posting this yesterday and it didn't take (??) I have received a Hoosier with the original fully functional flour sifter/hopper that has the original paperwork documentation still intact attached underneath the base. It has a number 877 stamped on the wood and in the document it says "Kitchen cabinet...white and red...Item 3383-D". I am trying to find out the original mfg date and either a photo or description exactly HOW it should be painted when restoration is done (what's white, what's red, etc).  I have a photo but it is too big (1.55MB) to upload
