You must really have quite a collection these days Graham.

I'd love to see a few pics of everything all together.

Congrats on the great colored Maytag's. I appreciate them even more when seen all together.

How could someone have 5 Tags and one of them, a most desirable yellow, to boot, and not be a member of Aworg??/ ;'D

Do you have the story on this. I'd so love to hear it? Thank You.

Maytag Salemen

It was an old Maytag Appliance salesmen, he had one of every wringer and these beauties stored in his basement after they were traded in some years ago. The earlier sale of maytag wringers was advertised here but the vintage automatics were at the last sale this past tuesday. They were just cleaning out the rest of the junk, these were the only goodies.

Oh my Graham - that is quite the collection! If you were closer - that yellow washer would be tempting. Someone better grab it.

Don't you hate it when they start taking up the center walking area? ;-)

Thanks for posting ~

I knew it had grown and was curious to see everything together.

You've got some great machines there.

eMailed you.

The yellow washer and the dryer (which I now realize is gas) would make a really awesome set for my mid century laundry room.

Truck Load of Maytags

That wouldn't be from Ron
Schaffers collection that was sold in April 20, 2008? I had a great time at that Auction and picked up some Maytag Memoriabilia.
