Vintage JC penny dishwasher in Portland

[northwesty]

Seller wants $100 but is open to offers.

I have to admit Portland has produced it's fair share of Vintage appliances this last year.

That looks very much like a rebadged GE Mobile Maid from around 1960.

Probably more like '62 or '63---Penney's didn't really roll out full-line stores until then...it's kind of a good story about how in 1957 a really forward-looking executive said "we've got to be in the mall" and went forward to go in virtually every mall built from 1960-1970, using the profits from the small town stores to build them, and in 1962 or so to buy the catalog business (which they bought already computerized....hence why it has survived...no "old-time" legacy problems like Sears/Wards)

would love it

I have been looking for a GE pull out or Mobile Maid for years now. I never knew these exsisted. Hope someone saves this one. Wonder if the inside is like the Mobile maid ? Mike
