-A few Blackstone parts; various assortment of Blackstone advertising and promotional materials; Blackstone parts and service manuals.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I would like to reacquire a Blackstone 350 washer; perhaps even the one that was in our kitchen.
What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?
Earliest??? Going on service calls with my father to fix appliances, when I was about 4 years old. Watching the spin of a 350, feeling the breeze with the lid open, and leaning against the cabinet as it spun.
What is the history of appliances you have owned?
Family appliance business since 1938, open for 65 years; including televisions, radios, and all appliances. We always updated our family TVs every few years, but we kept the Blackstone 350 in continuous use. Probably just the cabinet and stainless steel top remained the same.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?
I had sold/delivered/serviced appliances from our store for over 40 years, specializing in Blackstone, until I sold the building in 2010.
