The seller has these two cabinets, which I assume came out of the same house. $ 250.00 and $ 350.00 CAN:

Wow, look at those! Worth the money, don't you think? Especially the second one. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the glass is intact. Are you going to get them, Willa?

I can't help but cringe at things like this. Almost 200 years those cupboards were left intact and in place SMH

No, they are not for me. I am almost at my cabinet limit - I need something spacious but rustic for my back porch.
It's sad that these got wrenched out of wherever they were, but at least the seller took them out whole and left them intact .

With conversion to Canuck bucks, for you my US friends, it'll be about $180 and $250 US. Plus the cost of a good meal of poutine, and a case of good Canadian beer to take back with you.
Thanks for posting Willa.

Go get 'em ! Save them from a grim Annie Sloan chalk paint finish fate.
No one ever has too much storage, IMO.

You have no idea how tempted I am to grab one for my future mudroom renovation only I'm not totally sure what's going to happen with that space. Annie Sloan and chalk paint are the enemy.

This.
Why someone would rip out something that's been there for 150 years is beyond me. I'd bet they put something vinyl or particleboard in its place. Probably slapped in some vinyl replacement windows while they were at it.
The second one looks a little newer than the first. I'd say mid-1800s is pretty close for the first, but the second one looks more 1880-ish.
