What ever became of Hamilton Appliances

Was Hamilton bought out,and by who? Did they go out business when and why?
Did they make a washer and was it any good ? (never see any)
Love to see a pic of a Hamilton washer if anyone has one.

For answers to these and other pressing questions, Tune in to As the Wash Turns
Thanks >)

Here's a similar one in the flesh......

The people that live next door to me have an old Hamilton dryer with the window. Not as old as the one from the POD, but it still must date to the 1950's. A Hispanic couple live next door now, and they never use the dryer. They are first generation, and always line dry all their clothes.
I saw the dryer many times in the last 30 years that I have lived next door in my home. An old lady used to live there, and I would do little jobs for her to help her out, so I saw the dryer often. The old lady had an old automatic washer too, but cannot recall what brand it was. May have been Hamilton also.
I was in the house again, about a year ago, to help Alberto with some plumbing work in the laundry room and the dryer was still there.The washer had been replaced with a modern top loader. The dryer is not in use these days.
Alberto is not so good with english, but when I pointed the window in the dryer, he just laughed and said, "watch tv?" Of course he knows it is not a tv, however thought it was rather odd that a dryer should have a glass window in the door. lol!!

Hamilton Washer

I remember seeing advertisements for Hamilton washer and dryer sets. The ones I recall had gold tone background on the control panel and two large dials next to each other on each machine. I was frustrated that no ad ever showed a money (interior) shot of the Hamilton washer.

Still waiting

I guess no one had any of the answers to my questions. Still would like to see a pic of a Hamilton washer. Did they look kind of like Norge washers ?

Rick:

GO GET THAT DRYER!

You could probably replace it with any new/used BOL model and your neighbors would love you for it!
