A few tips to help you when you are looking for a Hoosier Cabinet
Restoring my kitchen and need to sell two nice items. I have had good luck with the Brownstoner crowd in the past.

Top half is approx. 39 inches high, 12 inches deep. Bottom half is 32 inches high, 24 inches deep. Enameled metal countertop on bottom half is 26 inches deep, can be pulled out to extend beyond the cupboard. Top cupboard has rolltop center section, topped by two small doors, with a larger door on either side. One cupboard includes original flour bin and sifter.

Condition is pretty good; some repairs have been made, bread cutting boards are missing (slots for the bread boards are above the shallow drawers). I am looking for around $1500.
