Completely unrelated to your washer.... What's that book to the far left in the last picture? It looks familiar from my youth. ~Tim

My dream set is a 1957 Frigidaire Unimatic washer and electric dryer in ANY color. It doesn't matter as long as it's a set. Something about the unique one-year-only design of the control towers that I adore. Second choices would be a selection of 50's favorites: 55-59 Lady Kenmore, 50's...

It's been restored and I drool over it. This one has been posted before on Ebay as well as Craigs. I will own one someday, but not this one. Not for the price of a good used car. ~Tim

Thanks for the info. Before now, I had never known that appliances were marketed under the His Master's Voice label. My Victor experiences have been limited to radios and televisions. At first, I was thinking it was some sort of promotional item that RCA gave out with the special HMV badges...

Here's a Kelvinator ad. Look at the freezer chest design. Nearly the same.

Inside of the 55 Leonard Foodarama.

55 Kelvinator Foodarama crisper drawers.

56 Leonard Foodarama. Notice the handles.

Hmmmm That's rather unusual! I've never seen or even heard of RCA doing a 'Victor' appliance. All the more reason to have one. Now that I look at this fridge more closely, it actually looks Nash-Kelvinator-Leonard to me. The design of the door shelves with the butter and cheese cubbys in...

Where offered, I prefer paper bags for groceries. Other places like the local discount store and the Nationally recogized big box store, I take the plastic bags. I like paper bags simply for the nostalgia. I also think if packed right, the paper bags are more sturdy than the plastic. It's...

Swanson TV Dinners I'm far too young to remember a foil package. I'm from the microwave generation. However, I do enjoy all things vintage including vintage TV dinners. I found an advert for Swanson Three Course Dinners. I framed it for the kitchen. You get Campbell's Tomato soup, beef...

Seems pricey. I only paid $40 for mine.

Like it! I used the old-formula Cascade with phosphates after the Palmolive liquid I liked went 'eco'. I then got a better-performing KitchenAid Custom 21 dishwasher which helped alot as well. The last hold out for old Cascade was a local discount store but now they've all gone new formula...

When I copy over from vinyl, I do it the hard way. I don't have a dedicated 'off the rack' USB turntable all in one unit because I cannot know of the quality of the turntable nor if it is turning true. My set up is a pioneer two speed stereophonic and it's clear as a bell and turns true. I...

NICE!!!! A local antique mall here had a table similar. Instead of flowers, it had red inlaid apples with the grey cracked ice background. There was the apple table and a plain grey cracked ice. Both same price. The apples one was pretty beat up and rickety. The laminate top was all sort...

I use mexican Ariel powder for the bulk of the laundry. It's getting a little pricey but I will NEVER go back. I'll keep buying it until I can't anymore. It's been somewhat cheaper to get the 5 KG bags instead of the little 1 KG bags. The only other detergent I have is some cheap cheap cheap...

The glass pictured is a Libbey but I'm sure other manufacturers made them as well. ~Tim

What about this? Those dishes are pretty groovy. Retro 'bumpy' amber glasses would look good I think. I have a set of 6 iced tea glasses in the amber just like this. ~Tim

Snowing and windy all day today. Schools and businesses closed early, etc. I don't understand why alot of individuals (mostly the media) get so worked up over it. You would think they've never seen it snow before. It's been this bad before. In fact, I can remember WORSE than this several...

He's riding the cotton pony. There's good sides and bad sides to the internet. This guy obviously went 'googling' and stumbled across some website that sells restored appliances for thousands and thinks that his automatically is worth exactly the same. I call it 'antique store syndrome'...
