Our goal was to convert our home which was built in 1970, to look as if it were built/furnished in the 1930-40 era. I liked so many different stoves that we found, that I began to collect them for my own enjoyment. Then I set up a display and began adding vintage kitchen sinks, refrigerators and Hoosiers. After a while I decided to turn it into a paying hobby so that I could sell some items that others may be searching for and buy other items for my collection that I did not already have. We love all of the old appliances and furnishings. I am always excited to find another nice sink or appliance that is of a different style or special color. Yes, special color. Not only do we have sinks for example that are white, but we have yellow, mint/ming green, pink, brown, peach and even orchid! The early stoves were available in many of these special colors as well. We hope that we can help you put together your own vintage kitchen that you can enjoy as much as we enjoy ours. NOTE: If seriously interested, direct questions to my email or call me. I am seldom able to respond to questions on Houzz. ### Services Provided - Kitchen Plumbing - Butcher blocks - farmhouse and antique sinks - porcelain chip repair.

Ken's place is old sink headquarters. Why buy a cheap Chinese knockoff when you can buy the real thing. His sinks offer so much presence and functionality in your kitchen. We searched our home area for a vintage sink for months before heading to Ken's place in Massachusetts and lo and behold, there it was, ten of them. It's rare to find a person dedicated to the preservation of America's manufacturing legacy. Where things were made to last for generations. No planned obsolescence. **Comment from Grampa's Antique Kitchen:** > Thank you for choosing one of my sinks and for the he great review. I noticed part of your comment stated “ there it was, ten of them”. Not sure what that referenced. But maybe you meant stem dozen? Well over 100 very nice, original finish sinks here. Thanks also for being a repeat client **★★★★★ — HU-199065247, Oct. 2023** > Ken has an incredible selection of vintage sinks, and they’re all in great condition for their age. I looked for years for a double basin farmhouse sink with legs before I called Ken, who actually had a range of sizes to choose from, along with all the accessories you may want (vintage faucet, drainboard, etc.). Ken also will build a crate for your purchase and take it to be shipped, all for a very reasonable price. So glad I found him. Highly recommend!! **Comment from Grampa's Antique Kitchen:** > Don’t know who left this review? But thank you very much. Happy I had what you wanted. Ken **★★★★★ — Nan P, Jan. 2023** > Ken was extremely helpful and kind! I phoned him when my 1966 kitchen sink was damaged during the replacement of the old faucet which had rusted under the countertop. Ken walked me through each step of the repair and answered all of my questions about the process. I am so grateful to Ken and would highly recommend Grampa's Antique Kitchen!!! **★★★★★ — tctolson, Dec. 2022** > After reading the reviews here on Houzz, I contacted Ken with details on exactly what I was looking for. He sent me photos and a price. I live in Ohio and he is in MA and when I received the info, I happened to be in upstate NY for business, so I decided to take the ride to look at the sink and pick up the sink rather than having it shipped. I saved the shipping and met a great guy and his son. They helped me load it into my rental car and gave me advice on getting it out of my car when I got home. I wish that I had time to see all that he had to offer, but I needed to get back to NY. If I need another sink, or if I find room in my tiny kitchen for a cool old stove, I would contact him in a heartbeat. I am waiting to have my soapstone countertop installed, so the sink is waiting to be installed. I will add photos when the project is complete. **★★★★★ — amyoff, Nov. 2022** > Ken is extremely knowledgeable. He was able to help me with an estimate of replacement cost of my vintage sink and cabinet! Thanks so much!!!!! **★★★★★ — HU-616921642, Oct. 2022** > I’m adding a addition to our home and putting in a summer kitchen for my wife to use when canning and baking. All we could find was cheap (quality) China made farm sinks. Called Ken and he had just exactly what we were looking for. A beautiful old Koehler sink with the high back splash and drain board. We got it and Ken wanted me to review his feedback so I was comfortable sending him payment. Folks Ken is the real deal and his word is good. We love our sink and used his shipping business to ship our sink delivered to our door. A great guy to do business with. If your looking I’ll bet Ken can help you out. **★★★★★ — HU-634640995, Sept. 2022** > Ken spent 2 hours walking us through his property, showing the many sinks he has. We knew exactly what we wanted, but after seeing what he had, we found something better! He was patient while we vacillated over the options, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the various sink styles and sizes available, and he was very honest about the quality of sinks he had available- he wanted to match high quality with restored kitchens and low quality with garden utility or workshop needs. His prices are more than fair. He is a great businessman and a pleasure to work with! I have already recommended him to family! **★★★★★ — HU-528500, July 2022** > Ken is awesome! Helped us locate a beautiful antique sink for our kitchen remodel and get it shipped across the country from Mass to Calif. Very helpful, knowledgeable, easy to work with and very quick to respond to all our questions, including several months later after we got it installed to help explain the best product and method to protect it. Thanks Ken!!! **★★★★★ — Tamara Grogan, May 2022** > Ken has a large sélection of vintage sinks. I live in MA so was able to visit in person, but he also texts and was able to send me a photo. He gave good advice about dealing with the rusty underside. The sink is 67 years old so had some pitting in the bottom. I used Ektopel refinishing product because I wanted it to look brand new and so far, it does. Ken is skeptical, we will see. It was good doing business with him and I am happy to have a sink that fits my space beautifully and is as old as my partner! :-) **★★★★★ — HU-991144166, May 2022** > This place is the mecca of beautiful, USABLE antique sinks. Sometimes the hardest thing to find is a good old (Fill in the blank) that has not been messed with. Ken obviously has a lot of experience and a very keen eye for unique items that still have a lot of life left in them. He showed me his metal shop where he also fabricates hard to find parts for these sinks that may have gone missing over the years. Top marks, and I found exactly what I needed for a replacement sink with a very specific footprint. **★★★★★ — salang1, Jan. 2022** > I was thrilled to find an odd sized, hard to find, vintage sink drainboard cover here. The process was quick, I received the drainboard sink cover in a timely manner, it was exactly as represented and fit perfectly. **Comment from Grampa's Antique Kitchen:** > Thank you for the kind review. I am always happy to help people find what they are looking for. That drainboard for the 36" double basin Farmhouse sink is very hard to come by. thanks again - Ken **★★★★★ — Curt felch, Oct. 2021** > Working with Ken was great! > We’re renovating a 250 year old house, so we had to have something special. Our sink is a double basin, double drain board cast iron enamel beauty. A full 6’ long. Not a blemish on it. Looks like it was built yesterday. > We figured these would be refurbished sinks. Nope. All original. > > If you need that special sink, Ken’s the only guy out there doing this great work. **Comment from Grampa's Antique Kitchen:** > Thank you for the nice review. I am glad you are pleased with your sink. I'd love a picture once it is installed. > thanks > Ken ## Selected projects - [Mid Century sinks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-sinks-pj-vj~2580713) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [Butcher's Block](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/butcher-s-block-pj-vj~2859981) - Location: Gardner, MA - Photos: 9 - [Farmhouse country kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-country-kitchen-pj-vj~233620) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 62 - [Industrial kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/industrial-kitchen-pj-vj~238120) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/grampa-s-antique-kitchen-pfvwus-pf~1510450626) ## Community Q&A **Q: How do I buy this sink?** *(in Photo Questions)* There is no buying information. This isn't a very user friendly site. A: A lot of people seem to be able to buy sinks here. If you take the time to look at the page you'll clearly see my web site name Grampas Antique Kitchen.com. Going there you'll find phone number and email. Also on this site you can find phone number and the ability to actually ask a question rather than a negative comment. If you were interested in the NOS sink shown in the crate, someone else found it easy enough to contact me and to buy it. My items are not sold through the site. One must contact me directly to discuss the various requirements they have, what may be available here or what sinks were actually made in different eras. **Q: what are the dimensions?** *(in Photo Questions)* would like to know the lengh and width and any other info would be appreciated. Also cost and where to purchase. Thanks A: Where to purchase? Here at Grampas Antique Kitchen, we ship all over N' America. If seriously interested just call me - Ken **Q: Vintage crane sink faucet- any creative ideas?** *(in Kitchens)* Hello, I was given this beautiful sink and would like to use it in my kitchen remodel. It has a 45 degree slant back faucet. I see slant faucets for lav sinks but not kitchen:(. Do you think it's possible to rig a faucet to fit? Any suggestions appreciated! Thank you for your consideration. A: I know its an old post, but! Its a Crane sink and you have the faucet. Just rebuild it. New seals inside and should be good. If a valve is bad there are places that sell new valves **Q: Help! Remodel with 42" vintage stove** *(in Design Dilemma)* HI, advise please. We are remodeling our kitchen. I have a 42" 1950 stove with a jadeit-ish green top (original). I also have a double drainboard sink. Keeping original oak hardwoods, lots of light too. I can't decide on a countertop option. I'm pretty sure I want quartz and I'm leaning towards the 'marble' look. The green of the stove top looks better with brown tones --- can't decide! A: Traci, just seeing this, but I vote (not that it counts) is with Sharon Joyce on the green veining! and then some Jadite accents in the room. **Q: So gorgeous ! What are the dimentions ?** *(in Photo Questions)* Can I see other angles of this sink? Is it for sale? Could it be found in a split sink? Thanks so ! Mary A: It is 48 x 18 and 'was' for sale. I do have another like it though. This one went to a long time client in Wisconsin. These make great bath room or utility room sinks. No, it is not available in split configuration. I have many vintage items especially for the kitchen. I specialize in "nice" vintage sinks. Feel free to call me if you wish to visit to see my collection I do not have regular hours so a call is necessary. Ken 978-302-4223 days. **Q: Availability** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi Ken! Do you have any more availability for real or aqua apron front sinks? Kindly let me know. Looking for 51"+ for my laundry room. Thank you! A: Remember I have 150 + - sinks at any given time. Only a few are shown on Houzz to give folks an idea of what I have available. Serious interest should call me directly as I seldom see these questions. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
