Today I bought a Norge model WWPG-22, serial number 947460. Is it possible to tell the year from this?

I have a GE steam iron in avocado green, catalog # H8F95AVT. It is stamped "907", which I would intuitively translate to the 7th week of 1969. This fits the appearance, not only by the avocado green but the font and overall design. Is there a serial number database or "rules of interpretation"...

I have a baby blue Eureka floor scrubber, model 24A. I bought it at a yard sale about 10 years ago for $3.00. I used it for a couple years but then when I moved to a new house it sat down cellar for about 4 years. I've recently decided to press it back into service and noted the brushes are...

Three bucks. It cleaned up nicely. The motor works but I haven't put anything in it yet to see if it leaks. Weighs a ton. Does anyone know how to date it from the serial number?

Random thoughts and recollections: In 1968 my mother bought a new GE stove and refrigerator. She handed them down to me in 1984. I, in turn, handed down my set to my brother who was renting a house (shack) and neither of his set functioned at all. The refrigerator had the freezer in a lower...

New member here. Last week I bought an old Apex wringer washer. Based on ebay ads, it's likely 40s. I paid $15 for it. The agitator worked fine right away. The drain hose was completely rotten so I went to Lowe's and found the closest thing, a hose for a dishwasher. One end fit the pump fine...
