Ken - thanks a million for posting these...it brought back many wonderful memories of long ago....

LOVED it thank you!

Notice that the 21" stove of that era is now seen as 20".

US cabinets come in 3 inch incremements in sizes so stoves sizes of:

21" (52.5cm)
24" (60cm)
27" (67.5cm)
30" (75m) Now the most common US size.
36" (90cm)

make sense. The 20" (50cm) and 40" (100cm) inch coookers are odd-balls.

Neat seeing the compact W&D and seeing a top-loading DW. For some reason I thought the DW-ers had been phased-out earlier in time!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.

Look at the knobs on the "Lady Executive" Washer--

And Merry Christmas to you.

The Mini-basket should arrive today

Wonderful!

Thanks for sharing! I love those 40" ranges, I wish I had a kitchen for one of those.

Merry Christmas!

That's a wonderful catalog - thanks for taking the time to scan and post it, that is a lot of work.

We had friends with the WLW5800P washer - with the scrub-board under the lid. (I think Nate just saw one like this in the SFO area)

My aunt had the drop-in range in avocado as pictured - what an elegant and hard-to-clean design that was.

Interesting to see that a)there was still a top-loading dishwasher (although I remember seeing them at Famous-Barr department store around this time and maybe for a year or 2 longer) and b)the blade-handle drop in stoves still existed.

Never did like the small-knob HP range dials (my grandmother had a 1966 easy-clean HP range..."Custom Crafted" (teflon panels/wire rack supports in oven) with 5-position knobs for the top elements...5 fixed heats wasnt the problem but the knobs seemed slippery (and the stove didn't have a element-on light which seemed odd)

Ah, memories! My parents had the GE version of the trash compactor shown here.

What a wonderful thing to share! Thanks and have a safe and happy Holiday Season!!
