That yellow Crown 1-18...

was the one that I mentioned in email several times last week PhilR... oh well.
Looks like the 3 of you did well!
Wish Hans had publicized that items would be able to be held for later pickup.

Congrats on a nice haul. The harvest gold /yellow Frigidaire reminds me of one I posted still available. Poppy Red units are nice looking as well. Good thing you didn't have a U-Haul 40 footer...

Jon:

Any chance I could prise that yellow 1-18 from you? I saw it 2-3 yrs ago when I went there with Paul & Phil, along with the poppy twins, I didn't think Hansen would let any stuff stay over for later pickup after the auction was over, and couldn't get up there this w/e.

Great Auction Finds

Hi Phil and Paul, it looks like you guys found some great appliances and while I wish I was there it might be a good thing I wasn't.

Paul that Blackstone washer looks interesting I have never gotten my hands on one and would love to see it run someday. This Blackstone washer has no connection to an Easy Velva power Washer and remember I do have lots of Blackstone parts from Fred in Springfield Mass.

Can't wait to see more pictures of the Blackstone.

Hey, Jon!

You gonna drop a wrecking ball on that set, too? My Coppertone Ladies from Kevin's Wash In are curious... LOL!

Looks like a really fun day!

Those are some very nice machines you guys picked up (so far!). I also can't wait to see more of the Blackstone, fascinating machines for sure!

 YOU can count on it ! LOL !

 

I had that Blackstone 30 years ago it wouldn't spin so its nice to see Paul has another example we can play with !!

according to Phil...

a fair number of machines did not get sold, so there may still be some good finds there for someone who gets there before too long... the ultimate fate of the business as to whether it's closing for good, transitioning to something else, or ? is unknown.

Thanks Phil & Jon for making it possible to get my soon-to-be 1st ever 1-18... WOOT!!

Hans told me that he'd update the website with the remaining inventory. They wanted to clear some space but I think they still plan to get more! 

 

Hans?

well the last of the Hansen's auction machines...

is home! Frigidaire W-2 Crown 1-18 in Harvest Gold with window!

Picked it up last Tuesday on a lovely sunny afternoon in Queensbury NY, Hans was most helpful in loading it on our way to celebrate T-day in Vermont with family, and we came home with it Sunday afternoon and got it down into the basement yesterday...a real job, I need to invest in an appliance dolly! Next up will be an initial evaluation, using my zero-knowledge base of these machines! ... but a report will be forthcoming!

BTW there's still a few vintage machines there, 2 GE early '60s fridges in yellow and turquoise, some older ranges, a Poppy Frigidaire Deluxe range and Poppy ~15 cu ft fridge, a Chambers model B I think, and some others. I think Hans would be very happy to have more space, so go see and buy!

Hi Roger, I'm happy it made it to Binghamton with you! Another 1-18 saved!

Thanks to you and Jon, Phil....

Yay...!!
Look forward to when you can visit NY and can make your in person evaluation!
