Great pictures

In Reply #24 My mother had the same wall scale that the woman is holding. The weighing pan folded up in front of the scale dial. I think it was Krups. In the same picture the mixer was sold here as Morphy Richards and (occasionally) Krups. I have also seen the same design sold under a different name in Holland.

In reply #27 the dishwasher looks like a Zanussi design, sold as Hoover here and (I think) Rex in Italy

Hi Al

yes it could be that the small appliances were made under license of others well known brands, but I'm sure that at the time all those applinces were made here in Slovenia in Nazarje.
Now in the same plant in Nazarje are made some small appliances for Bosh and Siemens.

Yes you are right the dishwasher is a Zanussi (Rex). Also made under license by Zanussi-Končar.

Thanks for Sharing Dejan

It's really interesting to see what other countries
have produced. I've never seen these machines and
appreciate the pics, and the translation.

Have a Great Weekend.

Thanks Dejan

What is the man opposite the woman under the  ja + ti ?? Is that supposed to be her husband?? What is he wearing on his head??
He looks like a pixie not a husband.

You're welcome guys

I enjoy making threads that are about stuff little known about to most of you Although I must admit I didn't expect it, but it came back to life 358days later..ok 7 days less than a year

Jetcone, now that's a puzzle! I never payed attention, however he looks like a chimney sweep, who might be her husband. That advert might have a logic with that, since it might have been implying that gorenje's customers are all levels of society and professions

Just a little more info...

This thread is called "MORE from Yugoslavia" because few weeks before I created this thread, I had another one, that was also about Yugoslav washing machines on a retro festival in Belgrade

Here's the link:
http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?40596

And now in the real (LINK) you can see some detergents that were sold in our former country, and in what package they were

Anyone remembers the time when powder detergents were sold in cotton bags?

...anyone? :)
