Turns out the coppertone is a rattle can job, sadly it's a really good one. I say sadly, because I actually like it, but at some point in his childhood my friend decided to draw a horse on his grandmothers fridge, using white house paint. She thought it was cute and left it. Anyone have a...

well, it's home now. My friend called and offered to deliver the fridge with the help of one of his cousins, so how could I resist? After some obligatory cleaning, here she is.

The name brand on it is enterprise, I'm not familiar with this brand. It's filthy, (aren't they always), and the knobs are those ugly cheap one size fits all replacement knobs, but otherwise it's in good condition. It even has the original broiler pan with it, and my uncle plugged it in to make...

Well, I'm not sure if the appliance gods are smiling or laughing today. This afternoon it was the GE fridge, and a few minutes ago I got a call from one of my uncles about a stove. Now, when he said he had an old stove someone gave him, that I might want, I was picturing a basic boring stove i...

and the interior. .. It has the old style tiny icebox freezing compartment, and the shelves while removeable, are not adjustable the gasket is intact, flexible, and not cracked. The bottom crisper drawer and one shelf are missing, but the glass pan for defrosting the freezing compartment is...

not sure why the pics are coming out sideways.. I've tried rotating them before posting, but still sideways in the post. Must be because I'm posting from my phone. Anyways, here is a close up of the logo and handle, see what I mean about the coppertone not looking like a rattle can job?

A friend's grandmother has moved, and is offering me her vintage GE fridge for free, rather than seeing it go to a scrap metal guy. She says it works, and was in use up to the day she moved. I have never seen a model this old in coppertone, but the finish appears original and professional...

vintage fridge Actually I have a vintage model now, a frost free wizard citation bottom freezer model. Should it meet its demise though, I will be going back to a classic style single door vintage fridge, as the wizard citation is sooo huge it seems a bit of a wast to have all that space...

Don't let her Matt! ! It's a great stove, and nothing made today is going to be nearly as well built, last half as long, or be so easy to repair. The tappan will accept a standard calrod unit, standard infinite heat burner control, and most basic oven controls, all available SUPER CHEAP at the...

The old fashioned way is best for me! lol.. Coffee lover / coffee addict that I am, I've tried every method out there. Drip ( both automatic and dripolator), percolator ( both electric and stove top), pour over, cold brew, french press, you name it, I've tried it. Out of every method I have...

wow... I feel so dumb. I had a wonderful early 50's philco fridge when I was first out on my own, and I spent countless wasted hours either fighting the frost with fans and a hairdryer, or later, with one of those oh so unsafe electric refrigerator defrosters, which was nothing but a cord, a...

success! My friend came over well equipped with heat lamps and such, and arranged them about the crawlspace. While they were on I'm sure my poor electric meter was spinning like a top, but he got the pipe thawed! I have hot running water again! He gave me a stern lecture about making sure to...

carrying water.. I have done that a few times, but with small children running about its a good way to make a big mess, lol. I really don't mind heating the water, as I said, my first apartment was a cold water flat, so heating the water, using a dishpan in the big single basin sink, and...

Doug Perfectly normal, and congratulations, your pie looks perfect! Everyone is more than welcome for the recipe, I never understood people who don't share recipes, it always seemed so stingy / mean spirited of them.

Wizard citation I swear this is the biggest fridge I have ever owned, lol. The thing barely fit through the front door when I got it home, but I dearly love it. I don't think I could go back to a top freezer model, it's so handy having everything in the fridge part at eye level.

tappan I actually like this stove better than the monarch. It came from the home of a widower, who hardly ever ate at home, so it was like new.

smooth top range.. Ahh, the monarch. Sadly it had led a rather rough life before I got it, and met it's demise from rusting out in the oven. It had the old fashioned arrangement where instead of the glides/supports for the oven racks being molded into the sides of the oven, there were...

Well, it finally happened. I did a few dishes late last night, and about an hour later went back to the kitchen for a quick snack. When I went to wash my hands, no hot water. The cold water is fine, but of course the hot water line is froze solid. Unfortunately I have come to expect this...

vintage electric blankets for me!! As others have mentioned, the new blankets just don't get hot enough, and I can't stand the heated mattress pads, the lower side of me gets hot and the upper side freezes. It's like being a human hamburger in a frying pan. I buy every vintage electric...

1 cup formula Actually purex powder is still sold in the US in a 1 cup classic formula, in huge boxes, at dollar general stores. Cost is about $3.50 a box.
