Hmmmmmm....!
So who made the OTHER appliances then?
This was years before Maytag made ranges (though the design is certainly something it wouldn't be hard to imagine a company like Maytag WOULD DO!)... And certainly the small appliances (blender, clock radio, can opener) are hopefully nondescript non-working props made for the ad... Otherwise "someone owes Sunbeam, or whoever the manufacturer is, some money!"...! -- Dave | ||

Have no idea who made the gas range; can't tell much about it from the angle it's shown. As for the items shown, whoever the manufacturers are they would be the customers of Plaskon. They may well have provided the objects, as it would be good advertising for them as well. | ||

Gyrator There was a Laundromat here on the Cape in the town of Sandwich that had TL Maytags that had a Highlander Shell (Probably were HL) and the Wringer style Gyrator in them. I remember this as plain as day. But since I've been here for some time now, I have yet to see this type of set up. Could that arrangement been used for Coin-Op Laundry only ? | ||

Clock radio
Is almost certainly an Emerson. The stylized "E" gives it away...
The radio design shown is rather boring though... This is a strange ad. Early cut-and-paste is seems. What's with the PAIR of MILK bottles? Subliminal?? ... And that bag of green stuff? What's that? Just WHAT is causing her to stop feeding her baby, cut the cord off her blender and spend the day adoring her agitator? | ||

this is interesting as to what they are trying to "promote" of their products.....
although so many of us had washers in the kitchen, it was never considered a kitchen appliance, but added here to show their use of plastics, not sure of the stove except for the plastic knobs, yet no fridge, but anything made by this manufacturer from the table, dinnerware, chair, counter tops, knife handles, baby bottles, maybe the first plastic storage bags, to many uses for their appliance applications....I wouldn't doubt the whole set is made by them, including the flooring....they made a point of view to show it | ||

That's a Tappan "Greenbrier"! I want one! No-it's a photograph. But what you have to remember about photo-ads during the fifties and earlier is that they were VERY expensive (I know this because my uncle and mother were in the business during those years) and it's very likely that this was a black and white photo that was artificially colorized for the ad. That Maytag agitator could have been blue, but likely would have been black at that time and they may have left it in its natural resin color just for the ad. Anyway, wouldn't that have been the wrong agitator anyway for that style machine with the agitator float water level contol?
I've always wanted to find a Maytag from that era with that simple wringer-style "gyratator", preferably in a dark blue speckled tub.
At any rate it's a wonderful and collectible ad. And, yes, that's Betty Draper (before she met Don) holding that agitator. | ||

Tappan, I thought had a lot of different range designs at the time...
In one of my Kitchen/Home Remodeling books, there is a Tappan with the Broiler actually OVER the oven... A few PostScript on my earlier post: The "stripped-down Caloric" ranges were Gas models--to introduce each type of fuel for cooking, perhaps--... The single door Frigidaire in my elementary school went into the school nurses office... (which formerly had a newer Compact Refrigerator all the time I went to school there; don't know how I saw it years after I graduated Grade School, period!) A single door turquoise Westinghouse refrigerator was in the library office in high school, while the administration staff had a white Kelvinator which was the same model & year as my grandmother & grandfather's Kelvy... And as for the Vocational School: It's South East Oakland (county) Vocational Educational Club, better known as you see, SEOVEC... Where students go to learn appliance repairs as well as countless other trades, but somehow I never went to "Voc" as a few of my other fellow classmates did, other than attending Open House--and the institute not only repairs, but I believe sells or at least SOLD apps', too... All for now--and Thank You for the Very kind words & keeping the topic loaded w/ your sharing your interesting experiences! -- Dave | ||

Pete, saw this last night before bed and loved it. Thanks!
Comforting colors in loose focus, easy on the eyes, and to be reminded that Automatic Maytags once had the unequaled gyrator was a delight. And how proud she is to show it off, celebrating their best agitator. As for there never having been one in that color, oh well! I learned a long time ago watching "Bewitched" that advertising is fiction.
Just the other day, there was a Tower Unimatic in the dream washer thread, copied from a POD, in which the advertisers claim that the machine uses only 3&1/2 gallons of hot water for the full load displayed Even with a cold rinse available on that Custom Imperial, it would take 5 gallons. They just make stuff up.
Thanks for the fantasy. You see the bright sunshine yellow in your scan? Well, that's the color I want to see on a gyrator. I foresee a custom paint job one fine day. | ||

Here's a Tappan Gas Range, from my Home/Kitchen Remodeli
This one is upside-down: The broiler is actually ABOVE the oven! Unless it's a SECOND oven...
Tappan sure made some weird ranges if this is one of 'em, as well as the one w/ four in a row... --And there are COUNTLESS photos of the "oddball" Gaffers & Sattler's and "unique" Chambers' -of-the-day! -- Dave

Well, now I feel silly, thinking the range was a Tappan...! (The name is so hard to see!)
Sorry for some of the content I posted above; it belongs in another thread... Anyway, neat idea, putting the broiler up where it's least likely to trap lots of grease & gather dust... If only other stove companies followed suit... -- Dave Remembering my aunt's apartment: A Caloric Low Broil gas range, (which she inserted a steak into, flipped it after a few minutes & (Just like MAGIC!) is was done!) Plain Jane Westinghouse dishwasher, & a top freezer Westinghouse Fridge--all in harvest gold! | ||
