I played hooky & looky what I found

[runematic]

My brother & I took the day off yesterday to go to a local farm/estate auction. We went to buy an 1840's era stove that was made at the location of our business. To our suprise, there were some unadvertised gems. I have a few pics now and more to follow later in the weekend when I get the opportunity to move them around.

Let's start here.

What this logo from?

 

[runematic]

Whoa! It looks like a truckload. Eight pieces to be exact.

It was a little muddy yesterday. We've had quite a bit of rain the last week or so.

This dryer looks nice so far.

Matching washer

Another that's rough. It looks like the tranny et al is in the tub.

Now, that's just not right. Appliance addicts everywhere are breathing heavily. It appears you hit the Mother lode!

I was told that these came out of the house & probably worked. I'm not sure if I believe that or not.

Electric dryer

I'm all Amped up now.

So what time frame would those Maytags be from?

 

[runematic]

How about commercial coin-op dryers?

 

[runematic]

That's right, I said dryerS. I got another as well.

I also got his sign. It turns out that this guy took over for my dad when he left the company (we now own) back in the late 1960's. Then this guy went got a maytag dealership of his own placed right down the street to compete & took a lot of business. So the owner hired my dad back & the rest is history. This guy's dealership didn't last & we're still here.

Retro, I am bad at the dating of these appliances. I'll let the knowledgable folks around here answer those questions.

There must have been 20-30 old wringers in various condition there. I let the amish fight over those. I let a few late 50's early 60's tags go. I also let go a Penncrest dryer, solid tub gold SQ, a few beat Kelvinators, & a mid 60's Norge washer. There may have been a few others as well.

We have a 102P, but her tranny bled out over a period of years in several rental storage places. We kept her on cardboard to avoid staining the floors. I'd like to watch the super short delicate cycle. Congratulations on your haul. Did you buy the stove you wanted?

 

[runematic]

Tom, I did get the stove. It's still in the back of my Suburban. I'll post a pic of that tomorrow.
