Another month,another thread. I would like to know where this year is going, time passes so quickly

English Electric

This looks like a nice fridge, needs work but reasonably priced

Stewart Toaster

This is an unusual one, although it looks in good condition I think it must be very old - pre art deco - as apparently there is no provision for earthing (grounding) it. A display item rather than a daily driver I think

Holiday Toaster

Something unusual in the UK, I wonder if our American friends can provide any information, its not a brand I have ever seen mentioned before. It too me a few minutes to realise that the grill pan was sitting on top of the unit. 110V of course

Indesit Omega Washer

i would estimate this to be mid to late 1980s

Ariston

This looks like it could do with a a "maintenance" hot wash. Unusual powder drawer

Hotpoint

I think this is what you call a barn find

A rather newer Hotpoint!

Kenwood Mini

I have posted these before, but its not often you see them in the box as well.

Puilips Under-counter Freezer

About 1983/84, I bought a Philips top mount fridge freezer then with similar styling. I am surprised those baskets have lasted so well. Normally you get a basket at the bottom not a freezing compartment

Hi Alistair,

the drawer is what the new / current line of Hotpoints use and have used for a few years now since the introduction of the WMD/WMF/WML line of machines. I do like how they kept it, but its not my favourite drawer design...looong Servis trays are my favourite! Haha

Anyway, decent Hotpoints. The early Liberator dryer is back, same price...

New Gen

Hotpoint 93580, nice chrome door and the correct dial but lacking the side strips.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hotpoint-...4d7b76f&pid=100005&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=322177680447

 

[servischris]

Next Gen

Hotpoint 9534. Intact side and lid strips but has the usual chunk out the handle. Notice how the dial isn't set to a cycle or a O position...but part way between 1 & 2.

Servis Quartz Multivent

Servis Quartz Multivent 262. Noticed a lot of these without their bases which were removable for stacking. Id have this if it were near

[servischris]

Either a 9330W or a 9334W I think...nice dryers

Alistair,

my grandma had a toaster like the one in your photo up at the top. I think it was called a sandwich griller. The brand was either Mirro, West Bend, or Presto.
I can't remember, but it was not Sunbeam, or Toastmaster.
It is from the early 60's. She had it a long time, on a counter top between her 1950's 36 inch Magic Chef stove, and early 60's Hotpoint 17 cubic foot refrigerator.

 

[foraloysius]

That detergent drawer was introduced on a TOL Ariston Margherita IIRC. I once had a brochure, but can't find it at the moment.

The compartment at the bottom of the Philips freezer was for freezing unfrozen things. The switch is probably for something like a superfreeze setting. At the bottom and without the drawer things freeze the fastest. I remember more freezers had such a compartment.

Philips D163

Quiet, Quick and Effective dryers - I love mine even though its more TOL! Looks like its survived well!

Art Nouveau Kitchen

Apparently used to belong to Richard Branson. I thought members might like to have a look at it although personally I find it a bit over powering - at least as a kitchen - although there are some nice elements to it.

Morphy Richards Hair Dryer

There can no dispute that this hair dryer is PINK! Also came in white and I think baby blue as well. This must have been a Christmas present fro someone

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142039306169?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Morphy Richards Hair Dryer

And this is what the previous item morphed (pardon the pun) into. This is not 1960s but early 1970s and the re-style was done by Kenneth Grange, the man behind the style of Kenwood Applinaces

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252417150479?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

Ronson Rio

Another Kenneth Grange design from the late 1960s - a complete re-design, rather like a small fan heater. Hoover produced its one version of this design although the Ronson is much more streamlind - minimalist even. This was also available in baby blue as well

Salon Dryer

I can remember meeting my mother at the hair dressing salon she used back in the 1960s and these monsters were the sort of dryers they used. At that salon the clients sat at the same basin throughout their visit, these dryers were wheeled over when required. I remember my mother commenting about how she preferred this system to the more modern (and more efficient) way of moving from basin, to styling area, to dryers.

New World rangette

With fold down grill, the right hand "oven" is not an oven at all, just a warming compartment. Early - mid 1960s

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262505648193?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

 

[vacbear58]

At the other end of the scale

It dont get much more BOL than this! I suspect this is an early 1960s cooker, but the design goes way back to the 1940s as a means of producing articles using as little metal as possible. I have seen pictures of electric cookers of similar design

[vacbear58]

Into this

Mid 1960s into early 1970s version of the same cooker, most commonly seen in all white, the coloured panel was also available in red
