I see the '53 - '54 Bexdix combo and the '78 Caddy, but don't see a Maytag washer anywhere.

Hard to see, but it is image 55 with a cardboard cutout of a young kid dressed as a ballplayer.

Paging MisterEric!

This is only like 10 minutes from my house! We should go to this lol. Oh that lovely Cadillac and that Bendix are amazing. Shh, my 76 Caddy didn't hear me saying that. lol

Hmm wonder how the heck that would fit down my basement? Martin? hehe

 

[norgeway]

AND!

A round tube color TV!

Interesting

But as one has neither the space nor know-how to deal with a vintage Bendix washer/dryer will pass. Spied what could be some *older* laundry products but have been there and done that too many times. *LOL*

Am surprised the family or anyone else close to them didn't try to sell the *Caddy* either before owner's demise or whatever. Hope a collector steps in otherwise fear it will be snapped up by scrappers.

Regarding the condition of the place I'd wear deep boots and becareful when one trod should anyone go; the place looks a mess especially the laundry and garage area.

The weather this weekend is supposed to be beautiful, indeed quite nice for a drive into the country; however it is also *Super Bowl* time and getting most men any where beyond a television is going to be difficult at best.

Brian, I told you that you need to get a washer/dryer combo down those basement stairs... LOL

Brian...

What do you mean ? You wonder if the Caddy will fit in the basement ? LOL

WOW !!! Ther sure are a lot of neat things there. Love that Hassock Fan.

HAHA Eddie

Now that I re-read my post, that does sound like what I am saying right? But alas, no, the Caddy won't fit down the stairs lol.

That Bendix doesn't looks much smaller by I would LOVE to finally have a washer/dryer combo and I always liked the Bendix.

Hmmm....

Maytag Washer?

Oh I don't know about that.

There seems to be a pretty obvious dryer vent hose leading away from whatever Maytag appliance is hidden under all that rubbish/grime. Therefore one can reasonably assume either the thing is a dryer or what is located to the left tis.

The latter represents a rather odd way to arrange a washer/dryer set up as one can see from the angle of the hose it is most certainly connected to the Maytag. If it comes from the other side that is a very long run to start an angle at that position.

I like the train layout. HO perhaps?

 

[gansky1]

You can see the corner of the Maytag washer lid on the left side, looks like a A606. That appliance to the left of the washer must be a dryer but it's hard to tell what it is. Maytag dryers were wider and didn't have that many buttons

 

[swestoyz]

Wow, that Grainger Dayton riding lawn mower is pretty rare. Some very cool stuff hiding in that house.

I was thinking, how in the world would you get that train set up out of there without destroying it? That would make any boy's eyes light up!

 

[launderess]

Train Set

Same way it was put there but in reverse; that is the thing would have to be dismantled and packed. It would be tedious work but much of the set-up can be taken apart into bits or subsections. Providing away was found to secure any loose objects parts could be taken out "flat" and loaded into a truck or something with equally large cargo space. This though would depend upon if it's possible to get such sections out of the house via doors or maybe the garage.

 

As we here have our tricks to shift appliances toy RR buffs have theirs and a collector with serious interest shouldn't have any problem moving that set-up. The only problem would be how much time the sellers are willing to allot for the taking down and packing. Then there is of course how does the new owner protect his "investment" between the time the deal is closed until he can shift the lot/take possession.

I think that might be a RCA color TV behind that exercise contraption.  RCA New Vista?

Love that Hassock Fan.

Eddie, you come down to Beltsville and I will give you mine. Tom

 

[mistereric]

Good lord! I wish I had the space for that monster!

 

[rpms]

I would love to paw through all that stuff! I would like the desk lamp and the secretary with the nice legs. Is the train set on top of a shuffle board? There is a green Hoover convertible hidden in there too. The orange wing back, isn't that the same as Archie Bunker's

 

[tolivac]

Yes,such a delight--something for everyone-esp if you need model train equipment and layouts.Wish yard sales and such around here had treasures such as that!
