Thanks, all -

I really enjoyed these pictures. What beautiful machines these are. Was it because they were (relatively) so expensive; or because the technology was still expanding? Somehow, somewhere along the way the cachet got lost.
My favorites are the 1958 Frigidaires. If I ever get to visit your collection, Robert, you'd better frisk me when I leave...I know exactly what I'd take with me.

Unimatic- thanks for the pics of the ABC

Love this thread. Uni, thanks for the pics of the ABC. I live 35 miles from the ABC factory, or perhaps where it was. I was wondering if you would share with us the history of ABC.
I have an ABC wringer from '55 and then another one that is similar but says ABC a product of Kelvinator, American motors. I would love to find an ABC omatic. Thanks, Gary

Perfect Maytag advertising! They put in a wrinkled old lady and out comes a baby. Imagine the lines to buy a Maytag dryer!

Hey Jason...

How did you get the pic of you looking into the washer?
Self timer? Helen?
How did you frame the shot?
Thats a really neat picture!

Jason....You didn't shove Helen in the washer now DID you!?

No no no, I used the self-timer and put it in the washer on top of the clothes. Good thing I didn't start it :-O

Greg, you've answered the ?...

for me. I know I'm a bit nieve(oh yeah) and I never knew where children came from. 2 years old, dressed in pretty clothes, and ready to sell on the black market for a pretty penny.

I knew that whole stork thing was just a bunch of hollabalooo, darn it!

Another good marketing angle - the Maytag Time Machine, with filter.

I like that self timer pic, its really cool.
Did you get that shot on the first try? I can imagine it was not all that easy to frame that.

retroguy you are TOO funny!
