"A curious beast is the pellican
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
Stretched wings like a dove
he flies high above
and I don't see how the hellican."

So that pelican would have been a Blackstone?
Trivia: The familiar "Meet the Flintstones" theme is not the original theme song. In the first season (when it was on in prime time) they used a song called "Rise and Shine". The ending was also a different animation; it still involves the cat putting Fred out, but most of it is a long "shot" of town with lights going out in the various homes as evening progresses. Occasionally the Cartoon Network runs some of the first-season episodes.

yea but they went out of business because people took their name for granite!
First Seasons
I remember watching the original shows as a child, on prime time tv. The original beginning had Fred driving home, he even went under the stone age freeway. I can still hum that theme song. Want to see it? The link is below.

you guys it was fire breathing dragon that hung around outside the kitchen window.....
shed lift the leg of whatever animal Fred wanted for dinner (which by the way was always three times bigger than her) and
the dragon would breath fire on it. In two seconds it was done!
Also saw one where fred uses an automatic garage door opener.. It went like this...."Barney these new convienices are something every man should have"
from the dash he took a bird and set it free, it flew to a little hole in the wall and landed inside next to an animal that looked like a wholly something or other. The birds says ok mac lets go
next the wholly looking anmial starts walking on a tread mill device hooked up to a converyor built device that opens the garage door
next the bird looks at the camera and says the classic "its a living, aint it?" canned laughter follows

I think I remember
that they had an instant camera, which was a camera-sized box with some small animal in it who would look out the lens, chisel the picture into a small piece of slate, and then shove the finished image out the side. Not sure if I saw this or made it up, though.

Instant camera, yes.
The Flintstone appliances I remember were the telephones that had what looked like a bull or cowhorn as the receiver and a rock like base with a dial.And for Freds Hi-fi stereo-it had the Bird and turtle turntable-sitting on a crude wood cabinet-wires went from the cabinet to 'speakers" that had a cowhorn on top-guess the "tweeter"and a large rocklike cabinet with a speaker grill in it for the "woofer"
Their lawnmowers had a crablike animal or a small dinosaur on a wood base with wheels and a handle-as it was pushed the crab claws or opening-closing dinosaur mouth "cut" the grass-and you saw the clippings fly.And I also vaguely remember an "automatic" side load trash truck(was a giant dinosaur with a bin on its back-)The trash truck driver mistook Fred as a trashcan and tried to "empty" him into the truck.I beleive it had an octopus like critter to serve as the automatic trashcan lifting-flipping arm.One arm emptied the can-the other banged the bottom to get the trash out.

Smoking commercial - shows the lawn mower.
Mrs. Flintstone's washing machine was that bird who stopmed up and down on to the laundry while the "Irish Washer Woman's Jig" record was played.
Cannot recall if it was either Mrs. Flintstone or Mrs. Rubble had the crocodile that washed by swishing it's tale back and forth into a wash tub.
All the above was rather strange since large non-animal powered washing machines must have existed. When Fred Flintstone fires the baby nurse his mother in-law sends after Pebbles is born, he leaves the newborn on top of a stack of laundry; Mrs. Flintstone walks in and sees what mess her husband is making and that he has left the baby on top of the laundry alone. Tired and cooing towards her child Wilma takes the baby for a nap with her, a few moments later the laundry man enters and scoops up the basket to take the wash to a commercial laundry. Of course Fred now thinks the baby is still in the basket and runs to the laundry and jumps into a rather large washing machine with a window.
Tom and Jerry had cool 1930's and 1940's appliances (lots of "Streamlining". The best had to be the black maid (whose face we never saw), that ran around screaming "Thomas"! "You good lazy cat".
Bugs Bunny didn't have that many washing machine/appliances, aside from "Baby Face Finster" who Bugs chucks into a washing machine saying to "get 'ems all tided up".

do you remember when tom was washed?
a top loader with an agitator, but with a front window like a front loader and some intermitent water jets... just like the superunimatic.
Now I know where whirlpool found inspiration to create Cabrio's water jets.

Can Opener
I don't remember what kind of animal the can opener was. But I do remember it saying something like, "I like the food at the Rubbles' house, better." So I guess it had been loaned to Betty by Wilma, or vice-versa.
