  This was only one room of Miss Daisy's kitchen/pantry/laundry. It looked like a wonderful space to work in.  I seem to remember a Chambers gas range in the main kitchen.   In the late 30's, Consumer Reports declared the wringer washer obsolete as there were far more convenient options...

Here's a few --    A smattering of dishwashers I've loved before.  

A very encouraging start to your collection - congrats.

    It's mint!   Very nice pictures of a really neat machine.  I've only seen one of these WP top loads in the wild, a neighbor bought one used for $10 and it turned out it had a bad timer (motor) and "won't stop running."    

    It's always a treat to see machines that John has restored, they take your breath away.  I can't wait to see this one in action, he's outdone himself again.

    Looks beautiful, big hurdle to get over.

    Saw a TikTok of this home last week, agent walked through the whole house.  Spectacular home for its time.  There were two baths near the pool, one had a GM Frigidaire Skinny-Mini.   Not sure about the location but the listing is tagged as "Pending" so someone sees value.  

    I have two SQ front-loaders, a 2004 model and a 2017 version (larger door and ball-balance system).  Do you know when the used SQ you're looking at is from?  The newer the better, that ball-balance ring at the front of the drum is excellent, never fails to spin fast and smooth.     I...

    This is a pretty one, such good shape.  Congratulations.     This was the first "vintage" washer (and dryer) I had, my brother had a friend selling the set for $20.  He told it me it was "blue" and this was what we picked up.  It was missing hinge balls and had a broken right panel...

    Looks like a well appointed washer, reviews are pretty good overall and I know a couple of people personally who are very satisfied with their LG top-loaders.   New York Times' Wirecutter section (product testing & review) recommends the LG 7500 top-load, though they like front-loaders...

    I have the gas, RCA Whirlpool version of this dryer.  It's a great dryer, I added some folded felt seal around the air/exhaust intake to help with the airflow pattern.  Not sure it makes a big difference but it's a very accurate dryer and nicely cooled when finished. The biggest appeal is...

    Here it is!  Have used this dishwasher once in a while, should probably use it more often.  Love the sounds, takes me right back to our kitchen when I was 8, ear to the door.   Proof of life pics:  1. Nov. 2022 cleaning up Thanksgiving.  2.  Storing Boontonware 

    Thanks for sharing this with the group, your new knob looks terrific.

   

    Just saw a Litton micro-thermal for sale tonight.     The Sanders Hardware store in Early, IA had two of these Litton Ranges NIB.  One was a coil-top and one ceramic top.  ...

    I found one of these a few years ago on CL for $75 in exceptional condition.  I hadn't used a standard capacity Orbital Maytag so brought it home to play with for a while.  I was pretty impressed with it overall, not fancy but perfectly satisfactory performance.  Maytag agitators worked...

    Nice find - good to see them still out there in the wild.  I've found a couple of these faceted models over the years, one of the prettiest of the Universal pots.   Can you post a pic of the bottom of your pot?  Not sure what would be loose, but perhaps we can compare them and figure it...

  Maytag did color well, very nice find - congrats!

    A good era for Whirlpool style.  Chrome, angled panel with strong horizontal lines.  Lots of sparkle for the money.   I brought home a WP washer and WH dryer set this last spring.  Have done little with the washer but have spent a day or so working on the dryer.  It's a (s)low-airflow...
