These were essential utilitarian pieces in American farmhouse kitchens before the era of modern cabinetry.
"Possum Belly" Bins: The defining feature is the pair of deep, rounded bottom drawers. These were used to store bulk quantities of flour and sugar.
Metal Liners: The interior of these bins is typically lined with galvanized tin or copper. This protected the dry goods from moisture and successfully deterred rodents.
Upper Drawers: The two shallower top drawers were used to store small baking tools, rolling pins, or flatware.
