Classic UK Appliances - September

[vacbear58]

Lets start off a new month and a new thread with a Philips Fridge.

I am not sure of the age of this, its certainly not late 1960s/early 70s, so I am going to do for mid to late 1970s. The exterior is not great, but the interior looks immaculate

English Rose 1

Country style. BTW the cooker is an early Creda Cavalier

English Rose 2

Urban Style. I am amazed there are no bids on this yet

Pardon our interruption...

Not English Rose

But another metal kitchen. This of course is 1950s although the worktops looks to have been replaced in late 1960s early 1970s. The device on the wall over the sink is a non-instant hot water heater

National Microwave

Parnall Pair

Mid to late 1950s, its likely that these were bought as a pair. Unusual to see a vent connector for the dryer

English Electric

Early 1960s. Its an interesting hangover from the 1950s in that it shows more modern styling and had two radiant plates but has the old fashioned grill (broiler) /hotplate arrangement - that's the large rectangular plate

GEC Cooker

Although there are some similarities to the previous cooker I think this is a GEC or perhaps a Revo (which might have been in the EE group by that time)

Electra Fantasia

Made by Belling. Late-ish 1970s, looks in very clean condition. Has a fan oven

Pardon our interruption...

Tricity President

Another remarkably clean, if somewhat dusty, cooker for almost 40 years old. This must have been towards the end of this particular iteration of this cooker as the oven temps are in centigrade.

Another Nice Tricity

This time a fanfare oven. This is the next styling iteration of the cooker pictured above showing the newer style controls. Apart from the oven door it looks quite clean

Pardon our interruption...

Electra FF

Although branded Electra I think this was manufactured by Tricity. Its shows a format of FF that became popular towards the end of the 1970s for a smallish freezer on top of effectively a larder fridge, a reversal of the usual arrangement

NOT GEC!

Well this is an unusual pair for over here. We see American fridges often enough but I would never have expected to find a 1950s model WITH THE MATCHING FREEZER!
Sorry, got a bit carried away there, as apparently did the seller when they were setting the price. Always has to be something doesn't it?

Pardon our interruption...

Simpson Top Loader

Not many of these over here although actually it surprises me how many Australian machine do make it to these shores. I wonder if it is any good?

Pardon our interruption...

last night I dreamed of wash-day

Looks like someone has been trying to strangle that poor Countess

GEC / REVO

Al im more inclined to think its a Hotpoint Cooker - im sure we have the brochure with this in although there seems to be no hpt logo on it. Il check to see but im sure it is hpt as it has the see at a glance twirly swirly rise heat indicators haha

Hygena Contour Kitchen

Mid 1970s. I wonder if this kitchen was originally a more vibrant orange colour than the rather revolting coral shown in the pictures. It looks to be not bad but its expensive. It looks like there at lights in the bottoms of the upper, deeper wall units

Pardon our interruption...

 

[vacbear58]

Russell Hobbs kettle

the brushed stainless version of this very popular kettle, I am amazed there are no bids on it yet

Pardon our interruption...

Singer iron

I wonder who manufactured this for them, in some ways it has a look of Morphy Richards about it in that it looks rather reminiscent of the Atlantic and from the bottom it looks rather like a large Senior iron.
