Looking at this machine I thought at first this was an American toploader. The name Lincoln Vaily Perfect didn't sound very French either. But in the end it appeared to be an H-axis toploader with an American styling.

The second one is a Laden toploader in brown. Or would you call this coppertone?

The third is a Thomson, probably from the early eighties, a Thomson, a leading brand at that time in France.

Here's a topload dryer too. Most of them are condenser dryers, but this one is a vented one I think.

Hi Louis Is the Laden made by Philips? It looks a lot like my Philips machine. Inside, is very similar but it doesn't have the PM motor like the Philips. The motor in the Laden is larger and open at the front. Otherwise it is amost identical. Chris. | ||

Diomede, I think the first one is just like the others, but they probably took the pictures of the drum from the side. At least that is what I am thinking. The machine doesn't look wide enough to hold the drum as the Ignis does. Chris, I found a Laden website, apparently it's a Whirlpool brand in France. So I guess it is a Philips, but I wouldn't know why they used a different motor in this one. BTW, how is your French? ;-) Louis CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||

Regarding the brown Laden machine: This is the first time that I see a polished heating element :-), they apparently cleaned it every two years. How meticulous! | ||

Wow, that French machines is beautiful! It looks like it's missing its lid, unless it’s a lift of lid, but one could always use Plexiglas and a foam seal to make a new lid, which would be more fun anyway. Here is my feeble attempt at translating this auction from French to English: "Hello, we cannot say exactly how old this machine is and it is currently not working. The machine is entirely mechanical, it's equipped with a water heater and temperature control. The base is made out of cast iron thus it's a very heavy machine. It does seem complete. We are putting it up for sale because it is a rare conversation piece. No Delivery except in local area but you pay for gas." | ||

Maybe the greyish thing under the perforated plate is the impeller, but then it seems very small. Or it may be hidden from view by the splash shield (?) in the top of the picture. | ||

Another nice machine. No, this machine doesn't have an agitator. It looks like it could work with a water stream. The water leaves the drum through the screen at the bottom and might enter the drum again at the top under the yellowed part. Most logical would be that it is injected more or less horizontal so that the laundry moves around. In the past there was a brand called Viking sold in the Netherlands that had a similar system, only the injector was lower in the drum. I added a drawing of that system. 1. Motor 2. Pump 3. Heating element 4. Screen 5. Injector

My Grandmother had a "Düsenwaschmaschine" just like Louis` drawing. That must have been a very rare system, at least I have never seen another one. She said there was a "Mercedes" tag on it, but it got washed away long before I was born. So, I am not sure if it had anything to do with the car maker.

Sorry Louis I have overseen that you had already explained "Düse". Thanks for posting the picture ! Sure brings back memories. The inside of the Viking looks like the one my Grandma had, but it was just a tub washer, she had a seperate spindryer. The thing on the left side of the tub creates three powerful jets of water and it turns the laundry constantly around if not overloaded. According to my Grandma it washed very thoroughly and gently. Unfortunately I have never seen it in action because the drain hose was brittle and leaking so she couldn`t use it anymore in the 1970s, when I was a child and developed my interest for washers. The recirculation motor was enormous in size and it also served as a constant drain pump. The drain hose was only shut with a valve at the endpoint. But it still sat for ages in the cellar. | ||
