No, Mike...White was indeed the original color.
Kirk, these were never toned originally...they were produced only in white...to match Philco refrigerators of the time. This is the reason the base is curved, to match the contour of the top of a Philco refrigerator.
And Kirk, what did you use to strip your cabinet? I tried my usual recipe of acetone and lacquer thinner on my 41-KR cabinet a couple years ago, and it would hardly touch the paint. I gave up and set the cabinet aside, and it's still waiting for me to get back to it.
