Interesting Chicago estate sale this weekend

[estatesale_gary]

This house looks pretty original - 1950's. Looks like there are a few old washer sets. Old refrigerator. Is that a built in Hotpoint stovetop? I can see the buttons and the Hotpoint name.

Stovetop

It sure looks like it, but it appears to only have controls for two burners. I don't know that I've ever seen a built-in with only two burners, other than some of the all-metal kitchen cabinet sets.

My my my!

OOOOH! I know it's off-topic for this forum, but boy would I love to nab the turquoise phone and that sectional sofa set!!

Nice!

They even have some of the ugly Pflatzgraph Gourmet Brown that I use as daily dishware.

Check out the coppertone washer-dryer set. See the panel of the dryer over on the left side? Anyone else see Hotpoint Silhouette clues?

That is a Hotpoint Customline two-burner cooktop. GE offered them as well. That's a beautiful Hotpoint 40" range, looks like the griddle is still there!

Cool sale here guys. Those in th Chi-Town area certainly will have fun with this one!

The range is quite stunning - with the combination fridge. The fridge looks to be in the 1949-1951 range. Is it me or is the fridge in the basement and the stove is upstairs - or the other way around? Look at the wall colors.

Yes, that dryer has the tall console of the old Hotpoint/Penncrest machines-----or-----they could also be Norge/Wards.

Would love to drop in on that sale.

Queeny,

You absolutely have to post pics of any scores.

Did they HAVE to have those baskets on top?

Too bad the photos don't show the washer and dryer more completely. I would love to have seen the consoles so we could guess as to the make and year. Our first washer was a 1964 Hotpoint Silhouette which I know very little about, and the silhouettes are rare.

Have a good one,
James
