Too new for art deco, and the styling is all wrong, more like a "Jet Age" style to it. I saw one of the Canadian versions of those for sale on C.L but it was too far away, but it was nice to know that they did sell them here so I will likely find another one day. If they put up the money to tool up for a steel mold to produce Bakelite cabinets, and made them in Canada as well, then they must have made at least several thousand.
