How well do you know...

[gansky1]

this brand?

 

[chestermikeuk]

Is it...

Dial M for Maytag....a prototype perhaps, the incarnation of a bygone era??....Hhhmmmm 3 prongs??

 

[DADoES]

Westinghouse? Wards Signature?

 

[westytoploader]

My guess is Wards.

I'm also interested in seeing the interior; if it is a Montgomery Ward, it looks like it could be around the time period as that HUGE curved-vane agitator!

Was this an old "farm machine" pic?

 

[jetcone]

I definetly

smell farm machine on that one! I'm guessing Western Auto.

Dispenser in the control panel? Kelvinator maybe? But the lid says Norge to me...

 

[veg-o-matic]

Coronado?

 

[Unimatic1140]

Hmmm, the lid opens back? Could it be an Easy?

 

[lightedcontrols]

Don't know what it is but..

...can't wait to see the restoration!!! I think it might be a Wards Signature? Mark

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Looks Norgey Wardsey too me

aren't those two little rubber fillers to change left to
right to left hinge configuration?

 

[Unimatic1140]

Love a good Mystery

On second look, I wonder if that first machine is a Solid Basket Norge????

For a second guess, try and figure out who this Mystery Automatic really is...

 

[westytoploader]

Gibson/Kelvinator...the "Filter-Faux" pan gave it away.

Montgomery Ward is correct. Made by Norge, this solid tub washer features automatic dispenser and an agitator-mounted lint filter. See it at your local Montgomery Wards store in the mid-60's!

Greg, Thanks Again for the Aberdeen Farm Pics

In addition to all the hard work I'll bet it was to move junk machines to get to the goodies, it looks like it was also a lot of fun. Thanks for capturing and sharing those good times with the club.

I wonder if the place has been all cleaned up yet?

 

[Unimatic1140]

Gibson it is Greg! I've been wanting to make a photo album dedicating the farm. I have some photographs from when I first found the farm back in '97, this was well before any of it was cleared out and they are amazing. I try and work on this soon.

Gibson

This is the first time I have seen a Gibson like this. Did the filter system work the same as GE?

 

[Unimatic1140]

Yes Bryan it did, although I have never seen one in action myself.

 

[jasonl]

I have

As far as I remember, it's a Franklin machine and it does recirc like a Filter-Flo
