1950's Blackstone Washer and Dryer

[lance]

I have a white set of Blackstone's on ebay. The dryer worked a couple years ago, so I assume it still does. I think they are from the 1950's from their looks. The pictures are on my ebay page. I put a price of $1500 on them, but would like some feedback if that is off.

Yeah, that's WAY off. Best of luck!

Important to remember that vintage stove sometimes fetch that kind of money because:

1- they have been restored
2- they have very few moving parts.
3- they last forever, especially the gas ones.

W, D, & DW are mechanically complex and I would say it's tough for a collector to shell out such sums, plus shipping, plus restoration, plus NLA Parts... plus...plus plus...

and still have something that may or may not well, if at all.

GULP!!

Do you have any pictures of the "after" restoration work has been done?

I know there are more of these models floating around that can be had for less than half of the opening bid, you may want to re-think the price.
