The label...
This must have been given out back then for new births! It was never opened, the Sunday Paper from 1962 is like in mint condition, this will make for some fun reading...
Greg did you need a replacement?
Oooh, great finds!! How wonderful you found the clothes sprinkler. And who is the Well-known Minnesotan? Any pictures of the house?

Love the old zones; used to be Buffalo 10, New York for me
Hey Robert, there have to be some amazing washing machine ads in that sunday paper, not to mention the treasures in the Want ads. What fun you'll have there, under "Washer&Dryers."

Just had a wild thought: Wouldn't it be insanely freaky
if there's an Apex in the Want ads, the washer remained unsold, and the owner is still available. You'd be crazy with joy!

I'll bet there's some nice appliance/stereo/TV ads in there.
Uni,
Suggest when you're finished enjoying that paper, that you roll it back up tightly and then stuff it in a long vacuum seal bag, pump out the air, and seal it. That will help keep the paper from turning brown and crumbly.

Does that say "Master" or "Mister" on the address tag? Interesting... I can't wait to see the editorial page from 1962!
That Hoover electric skillet/broiler is great, have you tried it? We had a similar Westinghouse version - I had many a cubed-steak dinner out of that. Too many. We'll have to play with it next weekend - we can make peanut brittle!

Great finds, as usual, Robert! Would love to see that newspaper. I would have been three years old at the time. Who are the 10 most wanted men?
How does that Maytag Automatic Clothes Sprinkler work? Our '60 Kenmore dryer came with a sprinkler ball. Just add water and toss it in. Is that how the Maytag version works, too?

wow
cool score Robert,
BY the way Dec 17th, 62 is my b day ( and thats the only time any of you alls will catch me admitting that) but a posting of something from that paper on Monday would be a incredible gift ( hint Hint) I wonder if the Peanuts were directly below Blondie there.

The sprinkler was for the HOH dryers and was placed where the lint filter was on the back. You had to remove the filter cover and the lint filter. Filled it with water and placed it in the back and if I can remember correctly you ran the dryer on air fluff for about 10 to 15 minutes. My mother used it a couple of times but decided the damp dry was the best way to go.

Thanks for the info, Charles! I suppose the shape of the sprinkler should have been a clue, eh?

My parent's have that hoover. They got it as a wedding present back in 1978 (I'm a youngin). It works great, we have had many fish dinners cooked on that thing. Enjoy it!
~Does that say "Master" or "Mister" on the address tag?
I believe it's "Master" which is techncally correct for a young man who has not yet reached his majority. (i.e. is under-age).

A bit of Easy-Off oven cleaner on the SS and it will shine l
oh that fry-pan is interesting; does it have an element under the lid?
