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

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.

AEG 800HC Another Zanussi machine, this time wrapped up as an AEG

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...

Not much of a puzzle but interesting ephemera at a good price...

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

Hoover Keymatic Model 3243H My thanks go to Mathew Thomas (Keymatic3203) for so very kindly allowing to be custodian of this, very desirable, machine This machine was rescued by the late Gary Tibbles (Electron1100) in March 2009 and in his memory the original thread he posted on this machine...

Hoover Keymatic Model 3243H Built in December 1972, this was Hoover UK's top of line washer at the time.

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...

Lucky Strike Lucky Strike were an alternative sponsor, there is an advertisement around 23.50. Who manufactured the washers shown in the initial advertisement?

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...

From 1954, note particularly the opening advertisement detailing Crosley appliances. TV from a simpler age ....

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...

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...

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?

Hotpoint 1504 Top Loading Washing Machine Now one for all lovers of "conventional" top loading washers - the Hotpoint 1504 from around 1970. The Hotpoint was introduced in 1964 and functionally did not change that much during the 30+ years it was in production although, of course, there were...

Hoover Wringer Washer This was the second edition of the Hoover (hand) wringer washer. In Canada I believe you had the model 0308 which was the equivalent of the UK0307 which was the first model. Introduced in 1953 this model had updated styling, larger capacity, an emptying pump and wheels...

Hoovermatic 3310E The latest addition to the collection, picked up on November 30th. This machine was manufactured in March 1972 and, touching wood, is in much better condition than I dared hope. Most often when Hoovematics are discussed in the UK its the "better" De Luxe version that is...

Its a small, cheap LOW POWER microwave, certainly not a commercial model. Very much bottom of market, made in China. This style has long been available in Europe, you can get one in UK for about $50.
