Picture Thread Part III--Our Appliance Lives

And I can cook too!

Right about age 2, I did start early! Later I recall my mother getting me a set of toy Revere Ware from either S&H Green Stamps or Gold Bond stamps. The little girls in the neighborhood were jealous, I had better pans than they did!

my early appliances

and what you can't see is the pink SweetHeart wringer washer just to the right out of view. Note the pedal car and cap pistols, too. Guess my dad hadn't given up on me yet!!!!!

more about the toys

I still have the cap pistols....guess they didn't get much use. But I sure do remember using the mixer...

Precious, absolutely precious pictures of your youth boys!

Yes Austin, that was my WP DW. Neat Magic Chef electric range with solid elements.

Ok, so I go out into the garage from Hell here and had to snap a current picture, dust and all. Mine was from 1957, it's been through my younger brother, my two nephews and my niece! I believe it to be a Murray. The paint is not original to the car, it was a medium metalic blue with white decaling on it. This is going to be my someday restoration project.

I also recall having a pink wringer type washer. The main body was glass, with pink metal legs, tope and wringer. You turned a crank and 2 or 3 bells would move up and down. I was allowed to play with it a couple of times, then it got shoved into a closet, later was sold at a garage sale in the mid 1970s.

This pic is about a year old. It is my son Corbin helping with the vacuuming. We bought the toy Hoover for my daughter, she ignores it, but Corbin gets it and helps whenever I vacuum.
