Wash And Rinse The EE machine is certainly a strange one. Compared to the UK manufactured version much of the machine has been reversed, note the controls and I don't recall ever seeing a power wringer with the drive post on the right hand side of the machine - the picture does not appear to be...

And another British one This one is a bit closer to me and I would LOVE to live in it. I would say the house is 1960s rather than 1970s. Sadly the kitchen is not original and indeed may be of two different decades - the "working" part looks rather modern, the rather ugly handles on the wall of...

And a British one In Hampstead, London Its a wonder those louvre windows have lasted all this time. The kitchen cabinets look original, the cooker/range is a lot more modern

Well I am assuming its in Seattle. Well this should get everyone's approval - I certainly like it!

Kenwood A1414 Never saw one of these, only in photos

Philips 2000S For Louis. My first dishwasher, several years later, was a Philips - great machine

Champion Its an interesting one this. Firstly Radiation (using that same trade mark) was a group of British companies including Jackson (Electric cookers/ranges), Parnall (washers and dryers) and New World (Gas cookers/ranges). The model names of Topline and Trimline were used for Jackson...

'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...

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...

Philips Steam Iron, Mixer & Freezers The fridge part of the combo fridge freezer looks incredibly high, even for me and I am 6ft 4in tall!

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

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.

Vacuumland And also for me - Windows 7 & Firefox

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.
