Here’s a rare bird for our archive of vintage steel kitchen cabinet — a vintage 1948 “Acme” sink base (with American Standard “Hostess” drainboard sink) for sale on ebay. What’s unusual about this design is the stamped, deco-style design on the front sink plate. We only tend to see this kind of ornamentation on early designs of metal sink bases — designs likely originating before World War II, but which continued into the market for some period after. Reminds me of the Dupont Delux, which also has deco styling. Also notable: Wile E. Coyote worked for this company; beware: Does it explode?
