Woodtone Hotpoint Refrigerator/Range pair!

Posted on facebook (I am not the seller, I wouldn't be parting with this beautiful set!). They look to be in very good condition, but the fridge recently stopped working. They don't post a price, but say that professionals have informed them of their worth. They are in Albany, NY.

Those are nice!

I especially like the range.

 

Since these are Hotpoint products, the correct color name is "Woodland Brown". At this time Hotpoint had different colors than GE. It is similar to GE Woodtone Brown, but not an exact match. Their Coral Pink and Sunburst Yellow were NOT a match to GE's Petal Pink and Canary Yellow, and GE didn't have anything like Seafoam Blue or Meadow Green.

 

I'm nearly certain these are 1957 models.

Tom, our friends in Dallas we used to go visit often--her sister had what was probably a 1957 Hotpoint kitchen. I just remember the entire kitchen--cabinets, walls, and appliances all had what I would consider calling its hue as some sort of a green to seafoam green. I was only in her house maybe twice.

Bob, it probably was the Meadow Green color. According to Hotpoint advertising, pre-mixed paint was available to match their appliances from Sherwin-Williams, Martin Senour, Glidden and DuPont. Also, Hotpoint sold steel kitchen cabinets to match.
