I think that unit is later than 1954/55. The logo plate on the bottom right is more 1959/1960 (I think in the 54/55 era 'Westinghouse' would have been in a different typeface) Further more, I have a brochure from 1960 showing the identical unit and I doubt they left the styling unchanged for 5...

Does anyone know where D&M was (is?) located or if they are still in business? Also, who knew Modern Maid, like Speed Queen, was a division of McGraw Edison. I always thought they were the Canadian version of Caloric! I guess that makes sense since Raytheon owned all 3 (plus Amana) until recently.

I too noticed some of the seller's recent purchases. As a boy who has not had cancer, I can't imagine with certainty what would be at the top of the shopping list for a girl WITH cancer, however, my feeble mind thinks Bibles and Cancer-related literature would take precedence over provocative...

An open letter to Whesley's girl also sent via email: You can ask whatever you want for anything and we can make fun of it. I think your profanity-laced cancer sob story is a fabrication (and a very sick ruse if it is). But I would WELCOME the chance to help you if I am wrong (because I am a...

Whilst I am on the subject, does anyone have a decent slant- front Laundromat around this vintage they would like to sell me to match my dryer (preferably closer to the 99 cents I paid for MY dryer, not the $150,000 they want) or even a matching pair in the midwest/northeast area?

I have a Cobalt Blue Greenville, OH-made KA mixer and the Brand labeled KA made-in-France (they're now Chinese) 10 cup cobalt blue food processor, so when it came time to buy a blender I also wanted cobalt blue. I bought a Waring (the only other cobalt blue one I could find and they may be...

Here is a link to the first auction. I was wrong. Their original buy it now was $150,000 (not $20,000) as I stated earlier. They have come down to an eminently reasonable $20,000. You know what would really be a kick in the teeth? If they actually GOT it!

It's no typo- the FIRST time (s)he wanted $10,000 with a BIN of $20,000. You don't make a typo like that twice. Interestingly, the first time they ran the auction, they called it a 1963 so I wrote them (through ebay messages) to apprise them that it was, in fact, a 1953 and, therefore, worth...

Actually, this was on 2 weeks ago with an even higher starting bid- at least NOW they're getting realistic ;) For comparison, I bought the almost identical 1955 version months ago on ebay for a high bid of 99 cents- I felt sorry for the guy and gave him a $10 bill just for dragging it out of his...
