Yes Tom, there was a screen under the slats of the cooler, and I never had any problems with rodents, but I also had a 15 pound male Orange Tabby cat then too, a real rodent deterrent.

1964 was one glorious Norge. Be fun to see one of those in the flesh. Great work, Louie! Appreciate you.
My pleasure Michael. Glad you liked it!

GE combination sink/washing machine and matching undercounter dryer. John Lefever has one, assuming that's still the case.
I saw one of these about 20-25 years ago while touring a local historic homes in nearby town whereby the mansinon had been converted to numerous apartments and one of these was in one of those kitchens.

Synchronicity
In the fall, my niece and her new family bought a big old house in the once Tony section of North Buffalo with servants quarters and the whole 9 yards. I’ve been there a bunch of times but on the weekend Meegan had a party and called me into the old pantry to show me this relic and I said, “But this is not a washing machine ha ha ha.” For you Louie: next time I’ll examine that little control panel there was a lot going on and I forgot.

The punctuation police will be after me, LOL

Mike, I think that is one of the NuTone built-in ironing boards, with the light, timer and electric receptacle. We sold these when I worked at a plumbing supply company that was a NuTone distributor. That was in the early 90's.

Oh, I gotcha,Tom, Thanks. The timer would be nice lest one forget and leave the iron running. Ouch! It looked way too new to have been the original, pretty cool and handy nevertheless.

I'd love to have a whole room for Laundry with a huge ironing table for sheets.
Some of my favorite vintage machines:
<ul>
<li> GE 1250 A pair (has anyone EVER done that kind of flush installation with the bath-tub valves?)</li>
<li> Whirlpool MarkIII pair for turquoisedude</li>
<li> Hotpoint DuoLoad pair with gogo chick</li>
</ul>

Flush installation
When my cousins built their new house in Austin, TX in 1984 it had the valves recessed in the wall. The washer and dryer were Kenmore rather than GE. I've also been in many model homes (Homearama) where the plumbing was installed that way.

Amazing stuff, Louie~
The material starting at Reply #32 is so illuminating. We have known that timers arrived on Wringer Washers simultaneously with automatics' mass production, circa 1950, but what is HOLY COW HOMER, is the two-speed option on a '50 machine whose control configuration is Blackstone-like, but whose tub ribbing is early Apex. What a find!.
Also fun for Launderess who often calls wringers mangles, here are wringer washers with real mangles--IRONERS--that attach to the wringer column; that large one looks to be very serious business and beautiful.
Mike and the UK lads will like their country's style of wringers that come off and store in the washer. Who knew we once had them here?!
But the best thing of all is the rinsing wringer. We've seen them on the Visimatic and the Apex, but this one has a double wringer system where the laundry is wrung once, then rinsed, then wrung again, Maddddooonne.
Great stuff, Louis, a real eye-opener and gasp;'D Much appreciated.
