New Finds

[filterflo]

My last estate sale had some wonderful items in it, but the best of all was the pink kitchen, with 1960 pink appliances that had never been used by the owner. They were meticulous people that used the kitchen in the den of the house and everything in the main kitchen was a step back in time. The owners are now deceased and I was able to buy them from the family to save them from being gutted and thrown away. I just have to install new units in their place. Sounds like a lot of work, but they are exceptional!!!!!
Here is the 1950 GE Refrigerator. They had it profressionally painted in pink to match the rest of the appliances when they built the house.............

Those are really amazing, Jimmy. Very nice finds and I'm glad you could save them. A never used kitchen. It boggles the mind, but on occasions like this it can be nice. Recently there was an early 60s Frigidaire turquoise fridge and range on Ebay that had never been used as well. Wow.

revolving shelves

I suspect 1950 is a little early for the revolving shelves, but I may be wrong...

Saving the best for last..........The GE Roll Out Dishwasher. With 4 cycle buttons, no visible timer, in mint condition. Very similar in operation to the Kitchenaid timers that have the rapid advance mechanism......

GE latch. Dont really know what Im going to do with all these to be honest, I just couldnt leave them to be gutted and thrown away.......guess I will consider using the GE dishwasher in my kitchen, not sure yet, but I will look for good homes for the rest!........

Jimmy, I'm almost trembling. Once I'd seen this dishwasher in ads herer, I never thought I'd see one. Either post, or email me, but I wanna know the sequences for each of the 4 cycle buttons that the owners manual describes. (Back then, they still detailed each one). I really would appreciate it.

And a chrome interior oven. Who'da thunk.

That range top looks exactly like the same size Hotpoint of 1968.

Hey Bob, you can imagine my awe and excitement when I first walked into the kitchen. The owners manual details the cycles, btw, and I will see if I can take a picture of it all and post it here..........

My gawd

Jimmy that is like walking back in time! How could anyone not use a kitchen over 40 years???

WE had the lower end model of that dishwasher when I grew up. IT WAS LOUD! and you had to CLEAN the plates before you put them in.
On Wednesday nites I would try to get Mom to run the thing right after dinner so I would be able to hear Lost In Space on the TV!!

I never suspected they would have made a model to compete with the Kitchen Aid.

Love that Pink!!

Hi Jimmy,

This is like finding a time capsule. What great appliances. I am not sure everyone realizes how much effort you take to save these, and the others you have found. I doubt other estate liquidators would negotiate to save the appliances when it requires moving them and putting in replacements.

I know your place is pretty full so I hope you can find room or these find a good home.

See you in July,

MK in LBC

Think pink

*WOW*

I'm offically dazzled.

 

[tlee618]

Jimmy this is an unbelievable find!! Congratulations to you. Almost makes you want to add another kitchen doesn't it? Thanks for sharing. Terry

 

[foraloysius]

Wow Jimmy, you hit the jackpot!! I'm in awe over these gems!

 

[peterh770]

Oh! The glamour! Congrats!

[golittlesport]

Hi Jimmy! Those are FABULOUS machines. I can only imagine what you thought as you walked into that kitchen!!! But no pink Frigidaire or GE pair in the laundry room to match??? What kind of washer and dryer did they use?

[rickr]

In the Pink!

Wow Jimmy! What a find!! Congratulation on that great kitchen set. What kewl things you find. Congratulations.

 

[Brneyedgrl80]

Wowzers!

That stuff looks incredible!! So beautiful!!

You are very lucky.

On a side note, I love the counter top of the kitchen as well.

 

[DADoES]

I've shared the pics with several friends. They've all been wowed!

 

[gansky1]

Wow - dig that floor, blonde woodwork, tile and countertop - too bad we can't just blink the whole room out of the house! It's amazing how people don't use whole rooms in their homes, but all the better for us! Good saves, Jimmy but didn't you have a GE roll-out dishwasher in the kitchen once before - maybe a little older model?

 

[appnut]

Jimmy, thank you. And, I noticed the rinse-glo inside, the first time I've ever seen that in a roll-out. I've only seen the bol GEs.

 

[bethann]

Oh my!!!

You know I'm in love! How perfect! Does the fridge have the revolving shelves?

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Beautiful; Wonderful Save

The oven looks so pristine. Everything looks pristine.
Does anybody know if the G E Dishwashers (b i's) of this more recent era had the little boomerang top down spray arm like
their Mobile Maid siblings? Never knew they used that type
of cycling system on that era of G E. Drop Dead Gorgeous!!!!

 

[filterflo]

The dishwasher really is outstanding, thanks for the comments. Yes, it DOES have the revolving arm at the top of the tub, but as you know these are NOT the best dishwashers as far as cleaning goes. I tried each cycle while I was working in the house and it worked perfectly, but Jet you are right--its NOISY!. And Yes, Gansky, I had a much earlier version that I installed in my house but finally gave up on it as it was just about useless as a dishwasher. The total cycle was just about 11 minutes long, and tho it washed clean, it could not handle any type of food being left on the dishes. It just made a big mess leaving deposits on all the dishes. I suspect that this dishwasher was improved and worked better, but how much better would be a guess. Im still not sure what Im doing with all this stuff Im getting, but I just could not let it go to the trash!
