About 1956 to 1958 I am pretty sure.

33 negatives

yes he has over 1,000 positive feedbacks, but 33 negatives ? that does seem quite a bit. I know you can't please them all, and I can understand someone having around 5-10 negatives which would seem like a lot, but 33 ?? I think this dude, might be a bit of a BS'er, maybe unintentionally, but nevertheless.

feedback

A 1,000 to 33 feedback ratio isn't bad, plus, one should look to see what the negative feedbacks are about before passing judgement

not

I wasn't passing judgement and I did read his negatives. Just seemed like a lot, most I have ever seen period. He still has a lot more positives.

EBay needs a better way to check out negative feedback.With a 1000 feedbacks,you might have to look at a dozen or more pages before you see a negative.Maybe a way to view just the negatives.

What memories that brings back!

I have very fond memories of the "Frog Eye" Kenmore dryer. In the late 1960's, I had the job of washing clothes every week. We had a Lady Kenmore washer, but I had to hang the wash in the back yard. Hated the job! I nagged Mom and Dad for a dryer to call my own. Dad simply hooked up a gas line in the garage, found a white Kenmore "Frog Eye" in the paper for $35, and brought it home. I remember the ozone lamp that was supposed to kill germs, and the temperature selector that changed color from red "hot" to blue "air only". I had to lug the wash from the laundry room to the garage, but it was far better than hanging things in the back yard. Five or six years later, Mom wanted a more modern-looking dryer and bought another Kenmore during a "scratch and dent" sale at Sears, to go with the newer Kenmore washer my grandfather gave us. What a laundry pair! I can still smell the enzyme Gain and Drive, the Miracle White non-chlorine bleach, and the Rain Barrel fabric softener. Memories.....!
