Frigidaire inheritance, and other things!!!!

Neat Fan

They are like the fans they used in banks,so they wouldnt blow papers away.Great for a desk.They are cute it should have oil ports on it.Keepem oiled and they last forever.Right now Im sitting in front of a 1914 pullman green GE fan that still runs like a top,but I keep those oil cups full of oil. Good luck!

My grandparents purchased the same model fridge about 1974 in harvest gold, and my sister is still using it as her daily driver.  We also have the Cycla-Matic version in white as our basement fridge.  They are so quiet you almost have to put your ear up to them to hear them running.  Is yours a frost-free model?  Ours aren't.  Did you get her pancake griddle too?

Pancake Griddle...

Her Sisters kids kept the cast iron, but I can tell you about it, it was a round cast iron griddle that had been her Mothers, She fixt me a birthday breakfast of pancakes on it for many years , My biorthday was in September and Hers in August, so she would call it our birthday breakfast,she always melted a big lump of butter on the griddle and poured the excess into the batter, and I remember she used Bisquick.

FIXT???

LOL~!

Fridge..

It IS a frost proof model...I would give ANYTHING if it was just a Cycla Matic, I despise Frost Free fridges overall, I have never seen one yet that would keep food as well as a standard model!

We wouldn't trade our Cycla-Matics for the world!  They're very easy on the electric bill too.

Are you going to initiate the Club cookware, or is it only going to be for display purposes at your house also?

I cant wait

To clean them up!!The stove still looks great, the fridge is moldy and nasty from being turned off for three months!

Hans - these look wonderful! I love the avacado color!! My mom had that same stove except it was coppertone and had a Corningware top - it was a real workhorse. Enjoy!

My former neighbor Edith had a Frigidaire range much like your new one; think she got it around '72 or so. It replaced a '51 30" Frigidaire like the one Kevin in Detroit just got. She kept in until sometime in the 90's when she got a smoothtop Frigidaire she didn't like.

Glad you were able to get these; always means more when they have good memories associated with them.

I Had the privelige!

Of growing up on a dead end street, My Grandparents built the house I grew up in , and moved in March 1927, My Mother was born in that house, our next door neighbors moved in in 1932, they were My Grandmothers neice and her husband, later in 58 her mother, my Grandmothers sister came to live with them, the third house was Bertha and Raymond Reavis who I inherited all this from, they are all gone now, but I loved them all just as if they were Grandparents, These things might not have much monetary value, but to me are priceless, they take me back to my childhood.

Nice saves, Hans! Can't wait to hear more about the stove as you start using it, will you put it in the kitchen in place of the new Hotpoint?

You could put a different defrost timer in the refrigerator and save a little money on the constant cycling of the heaters and cooling - that might make it more bearable on the power bill but some things are just worth paying for regardless! Enjoy these bits of your past everyday!

Frigidaire in the kitchen????

Donald thinks its the ugliest color in the world....but yes I will use it in some way or another! Either in the kitchen or laundry room.

I had a set of turquoise Club Aluminum cookware that my ex boss gave me, she also gave me a set of replacement handles. I loved those pans, wish I still had them.

I like that fan, never seen one like that before.
