Just wondering as to who made these machines for Blackstone, or were they actually produced by Blackstone. I have never seen any of these machines as they were not sold in this area of NJ

Those are circa 1974 which was the last year for Blackstone.  There's a 1972 brochure on AutomaticE.org, which models look essentially the same.

Hoover sold full-size machines for a few years, sourced from Blackstone.
 
Glad you started this thread, Glenn. This caught my eye: The lower-end models pictured have consoles that look quite a bit like lower-end Kenmores when they were using faux woodgrain on their consoles; but it's not just the woodgrain--the shape and height of the consoles look similar, as well.

I grew up in small-town upper-Midwest (SD and MN) and never saw a Blackstone washer 'til discovering what was to become AW.
 
Scrubbing Vane

I had to google that, and found this patent description, for "Ramped scrubbing vanes for auger agitator"
