Do you dream in pink?

[foraloysius]

Great set!!!! That is a dream come true!! Do these come from Lee Maxwell?

Beautiful pink ABC-O-Matics!!! How is the working condition...considering how they look I'm sure they won't need much, if any!

"...and stopped here to pick up a few machines I'd been holding for them."

Yes, and that includes the '64 Lady K that should be in Louisiana and the '68 Westy TL that should be down in Texas...hmph!!

;-)

SO AWSOME!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT I never remember seeing this ABC model! Is this a 55'? Why aren't they making washing machines today?????
Best of Luck!

Oh WOW Greg!
Those are beautiful!
I can't get over this set! You look so happy in the photo in the van.
What is the history of them?
Where in the world did they find these beauties???
I just can't get over this!
I am so happy for you!
Cooper will just love them!

Congratulations Mark and Gary! What a rare matching set!. I think these are 1955 models from the Lee Maxwell collection.
Hope to see detailed photos soon.

 

[swestoyz]

Very nice! Gotta love the pink =) A fantastic addition to any collection! Have fun

Will I be severely chastized for saying that I'd rather have the model than those old washers?
LOL .

 

[bostonwash]

Not by me.

that is a nice set... the appliances are astounding also!

 

[thirtyater]

WOW stunning! and the machines look great too! lol

 

[gregm]

coolest ever

well just when I thought I had seen them all ...........

 

[pulsator-power]

Ooh- how cool! Where did they come from?
I'm thinking Lee Maxwell, but I don't think he'd ever give them up Jer

 

[tlee618]

What a wonderful set Mark!! Congratulations. They look just beautiful!! Terry

 

[gyrafoam]

A WONDERFUL couple for the new museum. Can't wait to see them up close!

 

[peterh770]

How totally awesome! Congrats Mark!

My guess is that the dryer works like many commercial dryers do today: one control for timed heat tumbling and a separate control for cooldown tumbling. This means you can put your dainties in the dryer for 5 minutes of heat and then 20 minutes of no heat tumbling. But thne, that doesn't explain the center knob...

Stunning! I haven't seen anything in pink so beautiful since Robert's 57 Ladys. Are these around a 53 model? Can you take a clearer pic of the washer timer?

WOW

Now that's a Beautiful Vintage Set! Congratulations Mark a 100 times over, its a set to be very proud of! Wow certainly worth the trip to Colorado. I believe those are 1957 or 1958 models, the very last year that ABC was in business! I can't wait to see them in person sometime.

Holy Smokes Batman!

Sure the set is a nice prize..but the one in the middle looks like the Grand Prize... I guess Omaha beef IS superior! Can I hear a "Yummy"!

Well, even I, a newbie to the scene, knows what a great find those are! It's hard to believe they survived this long. I LOVE California, but we don't have any kool stuff like that around here! I'm moving!!

Mark, a beautiful pair. I eally do love the dryer temp arrangements & combinations. Way ahead of its time--variable "cooldown".

Aside from water temp and main timer, I can't figure out what the third knob on the washer is.
