Jackson ... shoot, for $10,000, you could have bought sets of all of these!
Now, wouldn't that have been cool?

It take the $10,000 and buy 25,000 boxes of original 1950's tide.

No Robert, you'd buy a 1950 Apex Wash-A-Matic and 24,000 boxes of Tide

Blackstone or Kelvy?
OMG! I wouldn't know which one to pick. If I was a typical housewife from the 50s, I'd probably get the Kelvy. But if I would know then what I know now, I'd get the Blackstone.

Westinghouse heavy duty top load 1966
Blackstone for sure...
With the money, I'd buy all the kitchen appliances. It's curious that Frigidaire isn't offered as a choice. It was probably the tangling.
One Minute, Laundry Queen, Coronado, Wizard, Firestone and Caloric were all Beam Mfg. machines - essentially the same inside. Even the Easy and Speed Queen could be added to the list of Beam machines, but for a few differences in clutches, etc., they were all similar.

Hotpoint is missing too, perhaps The Nelsons were allergic to Tide.
I'd definitely go with the super-cala-splash-ariffic KELVINATOR. I choose that over the ABC simply because I like the name Kelvin.
seeitrun---You're going to have an 11 year wait for that Westy, man. The contest was held in 1955, LOL! Nice choice of machine, though. Those vintage Westys are tres cool.

Re; What washer I would pic?
From the ones I would pic It would be G.E., Easy, Speed Queen, and probably Kenmore. My Grandma Francis had a Kenmore and I liked it better than the one my Mom had. Since it was in 1955, and it would have the Preggers Roto-Swirl, which rolled the clothes over better than the Super Roto-Swirl of the 1960's. What is ever more suprising is the fact that they didn't offer Norge either or Frigidaire. What gives with that? I would like to Know. Two of the biggest names during the 50's and you would have thought that they would offer them as well. Unless the Gambles Coronado was a Norge rebadge at this time, or how about Montgomery Wards?
