After we featured where to buy the metal sink vent that Dawn used on her bathroom sink cabinet, the Retro Decorating Gods delivered unto Pam this ebay stash of NOS cabinet sink vents — including double-wide versions. Manufactured by Washington Steel Products of Tacoma, Washington, these were officially called “cabinet ventilating louvers.” The New Old Stock stash includes vents in a variety of sizes and colors.
From one of Herloom Hardware’s listings:
This auction is for 1 new old stock unused primered gray steel louvered cabinet ventilating cover. It comes pre-primered and can be painted any color of your choice. This would look nice in a vintage travel trailer, below the kichen sink or above the refrigerator. Manufactured by washington steel products, inc., Tacoma washington, U.S.A. Louver size: height: 3-1/4″ , length: 17″ Opening size: height: 2-7/16″ , length: 14-1/4″
This featured vent is primed only — so it can be painted to match the cabinets in your kitchen or bathroom. Heirloom Hardware also has a variety of other NOS vintage cabinet vents in finishes like silver, copper, black, gray, red, brass and bronze — in addition to loads of other vintage hardware goodies from the 40s through 60s.
Another added bonus — this NOS cabinet ventilating louver comes in its original packaging — which is always fun to ogle.
Mega thanks to Ebay seller okatiedid aka Heirloom Hardware for letting us feature these photos.
