Classic UK Appliances & Kitchens - March 2015

Creda Carefree

Looks like a nice example of a later Carefree. Originally introduced with plain white doors it was not long before it was tarted up to complete against the likes of the Tricity President and TOL version of the Belling Classic. This is probably from the turn of the 1980s

That Westinghouse machine is an Aussie machine. Very much what would have been put on the Neighbours set in the laundry.

Great machines, i think that one is the bigger 7kg size one. I quite like the look of the half panel controls.

Aussie Westinghouse

Thanks for much for filling in the background of the Westinghouse. I take it this is an Australian built rather than US import machine?

What's your opinion of them as US WCI Westinghouse do not appear to have a good reputation?

Another Leisure

I have posted listing for these before - this looks to be a nice clean example if you like gas cookers

Gas taps For Flavel Envoy

This is a rarity - I think I have a picture of the cooker at home - unusually for a gas cooker of the period it did not have an eye level grill

New World Rangette

Looks clean for its years (1950s) - hopefully the missing gas tap is available as it is shown in other photographs. Interesting arrangement with the microwave too

Tricity Marquis

Early to Mid 1960s. Now this was a surprise - Tricity used the Marquis name for many years but I always associated it with a MOL model, nothing fancy but not budget either. This is before the age of dual rings but its does have a simmerstat on one of the rings, which I never recall seeing on later Marquis or even President models. It might clean up well

English Electric

Now, normally I comment if I think an item is over priced, and I think this might be on the optimistic side, however the condition of the cooker as absolutely STUNNING. It has either been so well kept or has been cleaned so carefully and methodically it looks like it is straight out of the showroom. I am amazed for something that must be 50 years old. The seller is known here in AW and to me personally, so I know it is someone to be trusted.

Cookers etc..

In the last 10 years of Ebaying I have never seen such a run of quality classic cookers and kitchen units as the last 6 months, testament to brand quality and design...

This boat has a good example of a cooker to appear last month. In a much better condition it seems....

Well it certainly looks a lot cleaner although actually the knobs are showing exactly the same deterioration as the one on ebay. Its a shame the seller of the one on ebay would not lower the price (I suggested this to him when I met him when I bought the Supertwin 70 listed last month) as it was just not worth the money. I got an instruction book for this cooker though a couple of weeks ago

Philips Mixer

1960s or maybe 1970s - Fanny Cradock always used these on her cookery programmes. Its also got an Eveready plug on it

Kenwood Electronic Blender

I must confess I am a bit tempted by this myself

[vacbear58]

An unusual Empress

No heater but a separate switch for pump apparently - normally there would only be one switch on the top right of the machine.

Series 1 Kenwood Chefette

This is not cheap but if you have a Chef 701 then you are getting a lot for your money as there are several Chef accessories in there too. Never saw a "Stabmix" attachment for a Chefette before. For this in the know the chrome angle is off an Electrolux vacuum cleaner

Belling Classic

Looks nice and clean

Hotpoint Iced Diamond

Its a shame the name has rubbed off the handle recess

1950s Lec

I love the name plate on it, never seen one like that before

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Later Lec

Might be as late as early 1960s

Pyrex Coffee Pot

No for something rather easier to store LOLOL
