Well...one I cannot miss everyday is my grandmother's kitchen cupboard/sideboard/cabinet. (free standing unit) with glass doors over two shelves above, and working counter originally covered with zinc. Flour & sugar bins and a row of small storage drawers above working counter, then large bread drawer below and storage to its left.
I remember watching her make pies on it about 1948. On it, among all the other stuff, stands a souvenir cut glass tumbler she got at the St. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904. Also in a place of honor on it is my grandfather's tonic bottle (he was a barber in Missouri).
