Information on Sellers brand Hoosier Cabinet

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

Can anyone provide any information, resource, etc about a Hoosier-type cabinet I inherited? It was manufactured by Sellers Company, Elwood, Indiana. Label on back reads "Sellers Special, #529, Bone White on Sea Crest Green, Elwood, Indiana". Does the company still exist? When was the cabinet made? I am not interested in selling it, rather i would like to restore it for personal use.

I am particularly interested to know if i can find an illustration of the hoosier from some catalogue as it appears there was once stenciling on the piece which has been painted over. I would like to recreate the stenciled design. Thank you so much.
