Antique Metal Tiles


Have any of you ran across antique 4x4 metal wall tiles? I have only seen them twice. I have them in my kitchen but I don't know if they installed at the time of construction in 1926 or during a remodel. And I bought a box at an estate sale because they are unique.

Does anyone know what era they are from? I couldn't find any information on the internet.

Re: Antique Metal Tiles


they butt together. They are a lot like the plactic tiles only they are made of an aluminum alloy with a factory finish.
