Judging by the fact most of the appliances are cooking or cooling related, have a hunch washing machines and dryers weren't on the person or persons idea of inventory. That or they were sold off to people who wanted/needed them.
IIRC Franklin, PA and the nearby part of Ohio are farm country. Which would explain lots of old ranges and fridges. As for the other appliance related things, am willing to bet they came from either a collector or one or more appliance store's clearance inventory.
Shame we really can't develop a network to spy and or hunt down old out of the way appliance shops that are closing or estate selling off inventory for the heirs. The United States is so vast and there are still a few such places out there, however the heirs and or persons dealing with the estate all probably figure no one wants this "old junk" and chucks the lot into the rubbish.
