Not bad...
Probably was "all the rage" for that era.

1930s?
Isn't that more like 1960's?

That thought crossed my mind, too
In all of the ads and photos that I've seen from the 30's, the appliances featured were white. But I'm no authority on this subject so I could be wrong.

Between the color, the design, and the materials,
I highly doubt this is from the 1930s.
The interior of the refrigerator door, to take one example, looks like molded white plastic. There was no material like this in the '30s Most refrigerator doors at the time didn't have shelves anyway.
And garbage disposals went on the market in 1938. 52 were manufactured.
As for the color, to each his own, I guess. The design is pretty nice, as is the matching cabinet.
Dwyer's been around since the 1920s, and apparently they're still at it.

That's 60's, moulded plastics, look at the stove elements and switches, plug ins, nothing 30's about it.
Furthermore,
Those are not the electric elements most commonly used in the 1930s!

Yeah, definately 60's. But the price is sure right!

If that color reminds me of anything,
Anything I don't feel oblged to censor, that is, it's this:

I love it. But the color....
I saw the same unit once before... at a Funeral Home.

I love Lilek's writing.
On a side note, I love James Lilek's writing. His book "The Gallery of Regrettable Food" literally brings tears to my eyes.
A Dwyer kitchen of this color palette joined with a serving "GLOP in a POT" is a match made in heaven.
Now what we need is Penguin Eggs.

I think I have seen this color on some appliance before. Wasn't it called "coffee"?
