What is this ? Antique kitchen furniture ?

Picture here; http://carinas.250free.com/Other/143.JPG Three pieces counting table top; top is white & black trimmed porceline metal & it pulls out some, has sifter, bread box & far right drawer is metal. 1392 white is stamped on the back of the bottom piece. I really want to know what it is called, when it was made, & if posable who made it.

1. it looks like a kitchen hutch with some added accessories. people who owned it before might have added stuff to it to be more handy. you could take a picture of it to a local antigue shop...they might be able to help you with identifying it
2. The sifter, is probably a flour bin with sifter on the bottom. The table top was probably for kneading bread. The whole piece was probably made for making bread.
3. These are what they call Seller or Hoosier type of cabinets. Hoosier, Sellers, Boone, Napanee, McDougall. Some of the names from the past that represent an era of Mom and apple pie; good smells coming from the kitchen; and a couple of manufacturers that just happen to make one the most popular pieces of kitchen furniture from the turn of the century, until the late 1940's. The bakers cabinet, kitchen cabinet, or more commonly known, the Hoosier. Yours doesn't look to be a "real" antique and more of a later model. They still make replacement parts for these cabinets and I am sure this one can be madeover beautifully if you have the knowhow and time and patience. How fun!! Only a antique dealer or someone with that knowledge that can see it up close would know. Let me do a little research here and see if I can find something. A list of some of the makers and you can do a search. Hoosier - New Castle, Indiana Sellers - Elwood, Indiana Napanee - Nappanee, Indiana (Coppes Bros. & Zook) McDougall - Frankfort, Indiana Greencastle - Greencastle, Indiana Diamond - Shelbyville, Indiana (C.F. Schmoe) Ideal - Vincennes, Indiana Boone - Lebanon, Indiana Wilson - Grand Rapids, Michigan (sold by Sears) Marsh - High Point, North Carolina (Marsh Furniture Company) I forgot to add a good place to find out more information and probably pictures is at a Borders or Barnes and Noble bookstore. You can look them up. I know they make books because I have seen them on Ebay. They would be under the collectibles section and look up cabinets. Good luck and that looks like a fun project.
4. My grandma had a couple of these in her farm kitchen when I was a little girt, but for the life of me, I cannot remember what we called it. Will have to see if my Mom remembers!
