Purchased a home and this lovely lady was in it. Sink works...Dishwasher is questionable as it isn't hooked up.
Can someone help identify it and value it? Looking to sell...

ahh- I like the metal cabinets.  I don't know why, I think it just harkens back to the 19---50s,60s and earlier.

 

Look at this pic.  The door, the wood cabinet from the early 1900s, the exposed plumbing vent pipe, the rickety floor.   The only thing sterilizing this pic is the white paint.  If this had the original wall paper or paint in the background it would be picture perfect.
 
appliance guy--
yeah we bought this 1920s bungalow..hadn't been updated since the 50s we think... the kitchen is going bye bye....
Found a Philco clothes washer in the garage... i posted about it as well....
 
can I ask where abouts?  Detroit?  rural?

 

I would take the metal cabinet and wood cabinet, if I were closer.

 

Are you doing a complete gut job, or just new cabinets?
 
Hi Everyone - Here I am.

Yes, I agree with Bob. I have two free standing (undercounter) dishwashers that look identical to this Electric Sink model. At least the door looks the same. The model of the free standing version is 10MC8. Now I am far from an expert on the Hotpoint dishwashers, but I believe these are among the first Hotpoint models to be built, and I refer to them as having been built in 1948.

KIMHURLEY: I would be interested in buying this Hotpoint Electric Sink from you. Click on my profile name, Dishwashercrazy, to get my direct email address.

I currently have two Hotpoint Electric Sinks (from different years than this one), and four undercounter Dishwashers. Total dishwashers in my collection now number 62, with one more in transit, and working on shipping parts in from three other G.E. dishwashers. And the Electric Sink count of whole machines is now at 24.

My next door neighbor . . .

. . . had that same electric sink in the early 1950's. It's a Hotpoint. The metal racks pull out onto the door together. You lift the top rack off and set it on the drain board. Load the plates, etc., in the bottom rack; glasses, etc., in the top rack. Then lift the top rack and place it back on the bottom rack. IIRC, the silverware basket sat in the center of the bottom rack just above the impeller.

There were 2 open cups in the door for detergent. It supposedly washed twice, but I never understood how that was accomplished since there was no top to the detergent cups.

There was no timer dial. One simply pushed the white button on the upper left, and the machine went through its cycle.

For the dry cycle, the impeller turned as if to blow the hot air over the dishes.

One family in that house had no dishwasher detergent and she had been told to use ONLY Calgonite. She had the dishwasher loaded and put just a couple drops of Joy liquid dish soap in it. The suds came out the air vent in the door just under the handle -- and came and came and came -- it was a mess.
