'Keystone Furniture Manufacturing Company' History

I am interested in obtaining information about Keystone Manufacturing Company. They at one time built Hoosier like cabinets. I have currently bought one and had it restored. Any information you can furnish would be greatly appreciated. It is a very interesting piece of furniture and very unique in its shape. The piece of furniture on the back of the cabinet has a stamp from Keystone built in the early 1920's in the town of Littleton. Thank you

No trackbacks.

I have recently bought a bedroom suite. It still has delivery tags nailed to the back. Keystone Furniture Co. PA. I am not sure how old it is, but the joints are a cross of mortise-and-tenon round peg style on the back of the drawer, and a rounded type dove tail joint with a peg through the middle on the front. It is unlike anything I have ever come accross.

I sure could use some input on this.

Thankyou

Ron

I recently acquired a Sellers type cabinet with a small metal tag inside one of the drawers saying Keystone Cabinet Company, Littlestown, PA. It is in two pieces and has metal bins in two of the bottom drawers Any information at all on this type cabinet, or the place that it was manufactured would be greatly appreciated. I am mostly interested in the age of this cabinet. I am sure you may need further information which I will be happy to provide.

I bought this piece to refinish and for my personal use. The value of this piece is not what I am interested in since I plan on using it in my home.

Thank you for any information you can provide.

I have a kitchen cabinet that belonged to my grandmother which has a Keystone Cabinet tag on the back. It is approx 71" high by 38" wide. It has two upper cabinet doors with a tilt out flour storage bin/sifter in the middle, an open center area with a metal work area in the center and two cabinets doors at the bottom with a center tilt out storage area. I am interested in knowing the age and value of this piece. I could send a picture if that would help. Thanks for your help.

I have a Hoosier type cupboard, that we have recently refinished for use in my kitchen. I am looking for a picture, to attempt to replace the drawer and door handles as close to original looking as possible. The stickers on the back say Keystone Cabinet co., Keystone Kitchen Cabinets, Littlestown, PA. Any information or where to look would be greatly appreciated.

My mom just gave me my great grandparents bedroom set. I am trying to learn something about it. The tags on the back say Keystone Furniture, Willamsport PA, and the town they were from. It needs refinished and one of the mirrors needs replaced, anyone have suggestions about how to go about finding someone to fix it? I am in Northeast Texas. Thanks

I was recently given a, what I believe is a Hoosier Cabinet from my grandmother. On the back it has a tag that says to: C. E. Hoover, Williamsport Pa. on the front it has a metal tag that says Keyston Cabinet Co. Littletown, Pa. I believe that it was ivory/cream in color originally. In the bottom portion of the cabinet it has a bread box that needs repaired. I was wondering where I could get it repaired or a replacement? And while my Father and I are refinish it is there anything that I should keep in mind or is there an easy way to do it?

Thanks!

I just found a Hoosier cabinet that was made by the Keystone Furniture Company in Littleton Pa. I was wanting some information on the years these were made. The top is curved three times instead of the usually straight top. I found this very interesting, that is the main reason I wanted it. Any idea where I could find some information. I can email a picture if needed. I would love to get the history on this piece. Thanks

I, too, have recently purchased a Hoosier style kitchen cabinet that was made by the Keystone Cabinet Co. in Littlestown, PA. I know it because there is a label on the back of the cabinet. I have researched the company and found out that the Keystone Cabinet Co. was bought out a couple of times since the 40's/50's and is now called Aristokraft/Masterbrand Cabinets, still in Littlestown, PA. I don't think they make any of the old Keystone cabinet parts and the only reference to Keystone is the street that the current factory is on (Keystone St.) and in the Littlestown website there is a history section where there is a paragraph about the company.

I am looking for one of the metal tags that once was on the front of the cabinet. Does anyone know where I can get one?
