Interesting to me, although I bet this is known to a lot on here.
Vintage appliances with high-end appeal

Id be like a kid in a candy store walking around that yard. I have a yellow GE range like the one on the left in the picture. The pink range on the right looks to have a slant front. Im not familiar with that design. Looks interesting. What is it?
What a great time it must have been with all the innovations and designs being put into use in appliances. People who really researched appliances before buying must have had a difficult time deciding what to buy.

Interesting clientele he has...
he even admits that the 1%ers are his primary customers, the same is true with many of John Jower's customers in Georgia, and imo this is a primary reason that some folks that have checked things out on the web believe that when they sell their vintage appliances they can reasonably ask the moon. It's what started the price escalation a few years ago, Hollywood celebs and hedge funders can pay whatever it takes and think nothing of it, which has forced the market higher, in my estimation.

Thanks for sharing that!
Hey Joe, thanks for sharing that story. I had not heard of that company. I know of the company in northern Georgia (Clayton, GA.) http://www.antiqueappliances.com/, and Antique Stove Heaven (Los Angeles, CA.)http://www.antiquestoveheaven.com/
Glad to hear this one in Tucson does everything, including washing machines. The others apparently don't, at least as a regular rule, although perhaps they would if they were commissioned.

He mentions how the old stuff last and the new stuff doesn't, but yet he puts new compressors in the old fridges. Doesn't make sense to me.
I've talked with him in the past, and he won't sell any appliance, unrestored.
