WOW!
What a great collection and the refrigerators are killer!! Would like to see more photos of them up close and inside!!
Don't know what it is about refigerators but they just amaze me. Those fantastic exterior designs and then you open the door and BAM......you're hit with all the bling.

That Hotpoint fridge looks to be from the late 50's, very similar to the built-in version my aunt and uncle had in their home up until the mid 80's.

Fridges
At some point in the next few months I will post some pics of the Fridge collection - including the new ones that John posted in this thread. I am finishing up building some additional space for the collection... so once I can get everyone all cleaned up/facing front and presentable I will share the joy.
I agree about the old fridges - as if the design on the outside is not cool enough... then you get to open them up and get assulted with bling and trim and crazy gadgets.

Speed Queen stack
What sort of washer is that in the speed queen stack? Is it a solid tub machine or a perftub Marathon style?

Holy Cow, TED, how the hell are you?
I didn't realize till I read the post by bygted of Maryland that you are the Ted in the thread. It never clicked! What a great day you guys had. I see that your giant appliance garage is almost ready for prime time. ALL RIGHT!

General Electric
I recognize that refrigerator (second from right) as a General Electric. My grandparents had one in their dining room. This was the first refrigerator for them. I believe it was purchased in the early 50s. Up to that time, my grandmother would keep milk, eggs in their earthen basement. The door on the GE had a unique ring behind the handle. Please tell me I right!

SPEED Queen full size stack pair
The SQ stack pair is a top loading tilt out design, its the same washer& dryer they made thought out the 1980s in a very creative and over built package. I just spent a few hours reassembling the dryer section of this machine. SQ washers & dryers of this era are rather plain utilitarian machines but its rare and now makes 10 stack-pairs I have to line up at the museum guess what the other 9 are.

Westinghouse range
I really enjoyed seeing the Westinghouse 30" range. I have one like it that was my Mom's. Is this something that you've had in your collection for some time, or did you just get it? It looks to be in great shape.

New Westinghouse
The Westinghouse at the top of the thread was something that we scooped that day - so it's a new addition to the collection.
Here is a pic of one of my other westys that I installed in the kitchen a few months ago and put back into daily use. Even though it's probably less efficient, I really like the window look better, so I will probably end up swapping doors or possibly stoves at some point.
And - John - about the refrigerator... the one with the circle ring behind the handle is a Frigidaire. It's the deluxe model in all porcelain exterior. The one on the far left is a GE - also a deluxe model in all porcelain.

Ted, what year is the Westinghouse shown in the beautiful kitchen? IIRC they made that cabinet style from '53 to '57. I've only seen one other of that style in person.

Falls Church
Yep - that Stove in my Kitchen did come from Falls Church Craigslist and it was 50$ The house was incredibly clean- the owner had kept everything like new.
It's a 1957 Imperial 30 model.
I originally thought that it was earlier but the brochure that came with it is copyrighted 1957.

Frigidaire Custom Imperial French Door Range
Ugh! I had no idea that the '56 Frigidaire range shown was something special. I bought an 1884 Victorian farmhouse that came with the same model (in pank!) stove in it and sold the stove for $100...didn't think anyone would be interested in it. It was a cool stove and I loved how when you opened the oven doors, the racks came out to greet you!
