Has anyone here seen one of these? I'm half tempted to bid on this though I have no kids, yet. This is really cool though. Where were these when I was growing up? CLICK HERE TO GO TO knitwits1975's LINK on eBay | ||

Small laundry "toys" for children have been around for ages. Makers such as "Wolverine" and others made all and sundry type appliances for wee ones but mainly geared for little girls. There were irons, ironing boards, washing machines, vac cleaners and all manner of household appliances all designed to acquaint a young girl with her supposed lot as a grown woman, housekeeping.

Calm down, no one is doubting your manly hood. You posted a query and I responded with history of toys such as the one featured in your post. Weather you played with appliance "toys" as a lad is a matter of complete indifference to myself. Will say though not many fathers would have welcomed their sons playing with "Suzy Homemaker" sets back in those days. My brothers and male cousins only came in to see if there was anything "good to eat" coming out of the Suzy Homemaker oven. Yes, things have changed, and quite for the better. Today one often sees little lads pushing "toy" strollers with a doll inside down the sidewalk. Am here to tell you THAT certianly would not have happened in my day. *LOL* Launderess | ||

TWO HUNDRED-FIFTY FREAKIN' BUCKS??? Guess that's one of the reasons I don't shop at Pottery Barn. As for the first one pictured, I'm 99% sure I've see it in Toys R Us. I remember playing with it, and I'm pretty sure it was the same one. Can't remember the price. I know someone here owns that Hasbro washer from the 60s that makes suds in the window. Might we have some pics? veg | ||

$250.00 plus $15.00 shipping, and all the Pottery Barn model does is make some silly noises. | ||

I dont think so! I have one of those toy Hotpoints and I did not pay $250 for it that is for sure! It was $49.95 AU at David Jones. | ||

The 250 bucks is not for the toy Hotpoint on Ebay, but the stack on potterybarnkids.com. Probably because it's more Life size. The Hotpoint it a table top version, but I think it washes, or the drum at least does turn. | ||

In the 70s I wanted, begged for and got a toy twin tub washing machine. And used the hell out of it too. | ||

Atta Boy (Knitwits)
Have seen those Miele "toy" washers in upscale toy stores in our area, they do look very sharp. Just the perfect gift to get a future "appliance lover" off to a good start. As for eBay sellers not answering emails, have had our share of that, but find on balance most get back to you in time. Again, well done. Launderesss | ||
