Thanks guys ...     I can see Mustard yellow.. particularly honey mustard, without the specks.   Tawny would be like Lion fur right? I'm guessing it evolved into more of a brown then?   I asked for input because I'm struggling with which way to go on the color, in trying to find a...

    I'm curious how people on the board see the color most commonly known as Harvest Gold in vintage appliances. In particular Maytag's version... California Gold / Harvest.   Do you see this color as a yellow, an orange, a brown, or a gold? Is it even possible to pinpoint it to a single...

    Hi Oliger,   Neat project, I had a couple things to mention, no promises any of it will be helpful though..haha.   First, those vinyl tiles are what were in my parents kitchen for years. They installed them in mid to late 1999, and I believe they were from Armstrong. Bought them at...

I'm fond of smalls     I have a few vintage small appliances. I have two early/mid 1960's Sunbeam electric can opener's one in pink and one in yellow with the 'Atomic' grill styling. I also have a Harvest Gold Seal-A-Meal from the 70's. Neither might be considered officially small appliances...

Makes me wish....       That I lived in MO.   Is that Harvest or an earlier yellow shade?

In Southern Indiana....     A legend I've heard since I was little is the Bond's Chapel Cemetery Chain-link Grave just outside of Orleans Indiana... I grew up nearby. It's a granite tombstone that has a 'ghostly'  imprint of a chain wrapped around it. It's not intentionally carved into the...

Riverrat.. very welcome. Like I said it may not be any connection to the stove but worth a shot. Good idea posting to the site there as well. Good luck.   twintubdexter.. it is fun, sadly it hasn't been Aunt Jemima's since the 70's from what I've read the restaurant was renamed and all...

Aunt Jemimas Pancake House at Disneyland I was curious about the history of the logo and looked around a little more to try to narrow down a year that font style (from the griddle) was used.   As I was looking I remembered an old video I watched years ago where Disneyland had a restaurant...

That's a really neat piece of advertising nostalgia there. I've never seen anything like it either.    I do know that the logo portrait image shows that it's pre-1990, but you obviously knew it was older than 20 years anyway. In the mid and late 1980's several food and beverage mascots were...

Launderess... Enjoyed the informative trivia, gossip, and the fun links for both shows.   The bit about Barbara Eden's hair is interesting to me, not because I'm fascinated with hair or anything, but rather the mechanics of production and "celebrity". Her handlers must have worked really hard...

A Very Brady Renovation Darren,     They didn't show the Laundry Room on A Very Brady Renovation during it's initial 4 episode run, but....  due to the shows popularity they extended the series to include two bonus episodes (starting next week) that show more behind the scenes type footage...

Upon closer inspection ....     .... I have no real answer to the question but I do have a theory.......   Ken,     I realized from this thread that I haven't purchased a new container of Era since a little over a year ago. The store had the 11 gallon jugs (with the handy dispenser spout)...

Interesting.... Larry,     I never realized that Martian was older. To be honest I haven't got to watch the show since the late 90's (or whenever it was that the lame Hollywood movie remake came out) and they started showing the original series again on TV stations to play into the reboot.  ...

And over and over and over... I always find things like prop recycling fascinating, and laugh at myself for having never noticed as a kid watching syndicated reruns, that The Tates on Bewitched had the same exact kitchen as Tony Nelson. Or that Dr. Bellows from Jeannie lived in the same house...

    Northwesty,      That's really cool. I don't have a true mid century home but for the last several years I've been slowly trying to make the inside of mine look like something from the 1960's to very early 70's with the things that I use and fill it up with. That's just the sense of...

    Steve,     Good question. I have wondered about that myself, whether you could use 40 year old liquid detergent and still have it properly clean your clothes.   I never actually tried it out,  though I've considered experimenting. However I think it's a lost cause in this case.   The...

Thomas.. Haha, my post was exaggerated  for comedic effect. Sadly.... I'm obviously not as funny in print as I think I am in my head though :)   But it has been a struggle with algae last couple years. I've had a tank off and on since I was a kid and had never seen these 'exotic'  types of...

For Cross Reference ... Ken,     I feel the same way. Era is the only detergent I've ever used first at home growing up and then on my own. I always saw it as a quality product too. I remember the commercials from being a kid where they showed it's stain fighting power by writing the word ERA...

Dirt can't hide from Intensified Tide Thanks for the link henene, that was fascinating. Something you don't think about.. you just feel as if you know, but I actually didn't.   It's funny because one of the first things that came to mind was this old Tide commercial     I bought an old ...

Fan-of-fans,     I watched that episode of Fast N Loud too, haha. Kind of a reverse of the renovation show.. and fun too.   The first episode (of AVBR) was really good. I was pleasantly surprised that they kept the visuals of the demolition pretty minimal. Don't misunderstand, they gutted...
