Estate Sales 6/19/2010!

[hooverwheelaway]

After a few sort-of dry weeks, the vacuums were practically raining from the sky today! Nothing incredible, but some very nice finds.. in good condition, or at least they'll clean up nicely! And some other neat stuff, too..

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Probably the best find out of all of them...

Hoover Junior, model 1348. It's a mess, but I think it'll be a gem after a good tear-down and rebuild!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Lux!

I was just thinking the other day... "I wonder when I'll find another model L again.." I had given one away before I moved to NC.

And the Frigidaire Ice Cube Ejector in the box... will fit perfectly in our early 60's Frigidaire freezer.. after a good cleaning! Yay!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Hoover and Eureka!

Not sure of the vintage of the Eureka.. the Hoover is from 1977 or thereabouts. Love the bag on that Eureka! Yowza!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Tupperware S&P shakers! Measuring cup... And a fabulous Bendix owners' manual. No machine, though. :-(

Cool trash can.. stuffed with vacuum bags...

 

[hooverwheelaway]

10 ways to keep a curl

Just what I needed!

Great finds!! And thanks for sharing them.

My Grandmother

had that model of Eureka. It was quite good, for an Eureka.

I love the Hoover Junior, however. Wish I could find one.

Are You Sexually Frigid?

*GASP* - Dead faint! *LOL*

Who says such things weren't discussed in the day?

Still, gotta love that big hair!

Also gotta love those "hairdresser" names:

"Mr. Thierry of Helena Rubinstein"

"Kenneth of Lily Dasche"

Think I'll break out a bottle of "Reinforcer de Pantane" and do a roller set.

Estate Sales!

Great stuff Fred. To bad the Bendix book doesn't come with the washer! Is it possible to have it scanned and add it to the manual section?
Thanks
Peter

Tupperware shakers

Nice T-ware shakers, usually the lettering has worn off. There is a white stand on legs for these, maybe about 4" high with a knob handle in the middle.

 

[perc-o-prince]

I particularly liked the Frigidare ice server, myself! VERY cool!

[mrcleanjeans]

Kewl finds Fred. The Eureka is from 1975 as a K Mart model. I remember it well.

 

[gansky1]

F-Y-B-C!

Fabulous finds, guys! Love the hairstyle magazine with the "ice cream colors for summer", which one will you choose? Jon's Bendix modeling days might be over but the legend lives on!

The Tupper shakers are fab - they re-introduced those this year as a retro-throwback nod to some of their most popular designs from days gone by.

FRIGIDAIRE ICE EJECTOR TRAYS

Our 1965 Frigidaire Cyclamatic refrigerator came with one of those buckets and two ice trays. The ice tray had to be placed facing down on top of the bucket, then you raised the handle and down fell the ice cubes into the bucket! It was the best thing after a real automatic ice-maker. Every now and then the ice trays had to be sprayed with wax to keep releasing the ice cubes properly, otherwise the ice cubes would get stuck to the ice tray. The spray wax was sold by Frigidaire, of course.

Thanks, it brought back great memories!

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Spray wax for ice-cube trays...

Is anything remotely similar to that spray still available? The trays work for now.. but I don't think that's gonna last indefinitely. Any recommendations on a spray that one could use?

 

[spiceman1957]

Nice collections of vintage treasures

I need to go estates sales, but how do you find them in your area? Is that Arlene Dahl on the cover on that magazine? I also thought she was a glamous lady and I believe she had a 15 minute TV show back in the 60s dealing with lady's fashions, etc.

I need to go estates sales, but how do you find them in your area?

In both local daily newspapers, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press, they have special sections in the classifieds for estate sales. The listing on Monday are sparse but but Thursday/Friday it grows as most sales occur Thur-Sun throughout the year.

spray wax for ice trays

No spray wax, but now there is food grade silicone in a spray can used to treat ice maker contraptions. It's available from appliance parts stores. GO OUTSIDE and spray the trays and dividers LIGHTLY. Throw away the first batch of cubes and you will be in business. Older trays were waxed.

1348.....

Hey Fred

That looks like it should be very nice once its had a spa treatment , that bag was pretty full right?.

Id say its post 1977 as it has the later style height adjuster that first appeared over here on the U1012/U1016 Dirtsearcher.

Fred!

I have used Jubilee speay wax on ice trays,it is hard to find,but still available!

 

[ptcruiser51]

Arlene Dahl

the lovely mom of the lovely Lorenzo Lamas, and spouse of the lovely Fernando. Her short-lived TV show was called "Arlene Dahl's Beauty Spot". I tuned-in often, to the chagrin of my OM. It may have been what eventually prompted me to enroll in the Wilfred Academy of Beauty!

 

[spiceman1957]

ptcruiser51,

Your real beauty is showing through thanks to Wilfred!
