Blackstone Prices from 50 Years Ago

Price sheet dated Sept. 15, 1975 (50 years ago), showing direct-to-dealer prices for washers and dryers. Delivery direct from Jamestown, NY. Available in white, harvest gold, and the ever-popular avocado.

I've wondered how much my A482 Maytag washer costed originally.
The Owners manual that I have is dated 1985
The best I could find out was an old newspaper ad listing for it stating $449.

Hi Fred, thanks for posting always love, old price lists etc.

I recently found a ton of priceless from the 70s and 80s for whirlpool appliances. I should post a few of them.

I can’t believe Blackstone didn’t still have copper tone in 1975, however, copper turned brown was the first of the 70s colors to start to lose popularity.

John,
Now that you mention it, I do remember a copper. Must have been less popular than avocado, although I think it looked better.
