Entire PINK kitchen and washer dryer looking for a new home!

[thaomein]

Hello All,

I posted my appliances a couple years back when my husband and I first purchased our home. The home came complete with these amazing appliances well maintained and cared for. Finally we are ready to let them go. Here's the post online:

HAVE MERCY!!!

WHY CANT I WIN THE LOTTO!!!! LOL, You can bet where that stuff would be!!!

 

[appnut]

It just hit me. there's the GE wall-mount fridge/freezer as well as the traditional fridge/freezer. Is the traditional fridge/freezer a Westinghouse?

 

[turquoisedude]

OH pinkgurl!!!

Wanna go on a road trip?? I call dibs on the washer/dryer since you just got a new one anyways.... LOL

 

[bugsyjones]

Incredible....

I want it all....

ALL OF IT.

Lets see...(digs in pockets) I've got two wheat pennies, a dime I found on the sidewalk, a paper clip, a button, some lint, and a half-eaten Mr.Goodbar....

Is this enough to buy it?

I remember these - so pretty!

I doubt I could have slept at night knowing the dryer door opened the wrong direction. A room designed from a Maytag brochure?

My sister has those "bathtub" valve handles on her washing machine faucets as well - so elegant!

A spare pink refrigerator.

Look at that floor - hours of fun with a can of wax and a Hoover floor polisher!

 

[thaomein]

Yes, the standing fridge is a westinghouse. Here's a photo with the wall mount (General Electric) open.

The sink.

Wow, the original owners had their "right change" for the 1950's. Its great that someone can buy the whole set, at once. alr2903

 

[thaomein]

Well, the house was custom built in 1956 with all the pink appliances (or so a neighbor informed me!).

 

[bajaespuma]

Greg, you read my very first thought.

I'm trying to get the washer and the dryer. If I'm successful, they'll be my first set of 'pools! Keep your wires crossed.

I wonder if Whirlpool lost any sales because the housewife couldn't line them up right? I remember my Mother and our neighbor Marian being a little upset because both our nearly identical V-12 sets were installed the wrong way(with the RH-opening dryer doors to the left of the washers). With the GE's it didn't matter so much because control dials on both units were on the RH side and the dryer doors opened 180 degrees).

Oh well, time to draw a Whirlpool. I wonder which agitator would have been in this beauty? Probably the white tub with all the holes on the bottom. Would it be too much to hope for dispensers?

Also, these aren't 1956 models are they. Look to be early '60's to me.

Whomever...

Well, whomever becomes the proud parent of the laundry pair, I hope you can take some HD videos for youtube.

WP MARK 12 WASHER & DRYER

These are 1964-1965 models Ken and yes they do have timed bleach and softener dispensers. The agitator would be a bakelite Surgulator with a full chrome dicast metal cap.

I have the dishwasher. I first saw it in a friend's kitchen in the late 50s, operating, and the light behind the dial glowing.

Great action shots!

Although the original agitator is MIA, that looks like a Kenmo!

 

[revvinkevin]

Hmm....

Is that a Kenmore straight vane agitator in there??

VERY, VERY Beautiful set though... I would absolutely LOVE to have them!

Dryer doors

I was thinking the TOL models would have had the hamper type door by '64. I know I've seen them on even earlier Kenmore models; were they a Sears exclusive at first?

 

[kenmoreguy64]

That's odd about the agitator, not so much because it has a Kenmore transplant, but because it's the second WP I've seen with that same transplant in less than a week. I got a 1973 TOL Whirlpool from Arizona with a gold straight-vane in it recently (Anyone interested in that machine?)

In the case of this washer, it is very possible that the transmission has been replaced. To power that gold agitator, a splined agitator shaft is required. My earliest recollection of that being used was in the 1965 Lady Ks with the gold Roto-Flex. Everything else prior to that had been equipped with either the Surgilator, the 6-Vane (straight vane) and Roto-Swirl/Super Roto-Swirl, all in black bakelite. I don't know if machines prior to the 65s had splined agitator shafts for a couple years, but to my knowledge, machines prior to the development of the plastic agitators REQUIRED a drive block agitator and had a single-groove agitator shaft, and if these are 1964 models, they should have as well.

So, I'm guessing that the transmission was replaced at some point, OR if it already had splines, then at least the agitator was swapped.

NEAT washer though - love the pink. funny that I've already had several folks telling me to go after these machines. I do't plan to however.
