    elderly hotpoint Empress

    'Twas On The Monday Morning A film produced by the Electrical Association For Women. Sadly there is no sound track to this but I have seen it before in the Manchester Industrial Museum. The title was a reference to Monday being laundry day and the woman, having struggled in a kitchen with poor...

    elderly hotpoint Empress

    The earliest reference to the Hotpoint Empress I have seen is from this catalogue from 1939, a sad prediction of appliances which were never to come. The On/Off switch on the right of the machine seems somewhat different to the one on Anthony's machine above which is the version we are familiar...

    Art Carney Advertising Stewart Warner Refrigerators

    But just to show that there was no bad feelings, Carney appeared on Whats My Line 2 days later. Arlene is missing this week, her place being taken by a young Joan Collins. The segment is 17 minutes into the show - real class TV and performers

    Art Carney Advertising Stewart Warner Refrigerators

    Whilst many people associate Art Carney with Jackie Gleason, his work extended far beyond that. Here is a spoof of Whats My Line? from 1959 which is remarkably like the original

    Art Carney Advertising Stewart Warner Refrigerators

    This popped up on my YouTube feed this morning. This film short is from 1936 or 1937 and features a very young Art Carney appearing with the Horace Heidt orchestra who must have been sponsored by Stewart Warner Refrigerators - never heard of that brand before.

    Vulcan Dishlex dishwasher from the 1980s - rinse aid dispenser?

    Although I am not familiar with Australian dishwashers, I believe the "nozzle" on the left is for the rinse aid reservoir - it should unscrew allowing you to fill it. There may well be a glass or perhaps plastic tube on the inside connected to the centre of the cap, this will indicate when the...

    AyUp Lads! Vintage Acme Spinner

    This has been on ebay for ages, if it were not such mad price. I would suggest that the vinyl is a substitute for a spinner mat. There was also at least one Acme twin tub in the early to mid 1960s

    Do any UK members remember this?

    Hi Kevin Unfortunately I have no recollection of that programme at all, sounds like it was very interesting. But the good thing is, through the work of UK members, you could actually relive the programme for real as there are many machine from the 1950s which have been collected and restored to...

    Does anyone know how old this mini fridge is?

    I would say its mid 1960s by the look of it. Here in the UK Hoover (and possibly in Europe) had a very comprehensive range of fridges and freezers from the mid 1960s to the mid 1980s, all badged from Zanussi. Hoover were never afraid to put their name on something other companies...

    Swedish kitchen adverts part 2

    I think it must be a washer, its a bit tall for a spin dryer. And its right beside a wringer that they must have raided a museum to get LOLOL Well spotted on those radiant rings, I had not noticed that at all. They look somewhat different to those we had in the UK, which were very common in the...

    Swedish kitchen adverts part 2

    I recognized "mother" straight away I was sure we had discussed this particular advert early on in the previous thread but I could not find it. Anyway, six years on she appears very different and the kitchen styling has changed to be very much of the 1970s where the earlier one is very clearly...

    Swedish kitchen adverts part 2

    Kitchen Furnishings From 1967 This is a long film, but lots of great shots of appliances. As we have discussed before the Husqvarna washer and dryer are "badged" AEG products. I wonder what the older washing machine which appears earlier in the film was?
