Here are some pictures of my own 'rebadged' twinnie Baycrest model HBT53 manufactured in the 1970's for the Hudson's Bay Co., Winnipeg, Man. (Canada) (pretty much similar to Hoover T-1001 model)

This twin tub washer I am currently using for the small to mid-size laundry. When I do get heavier washday loads then I leave it to the big Maytag pictured here:

Prior to repairs (ext. paint, etc.) it was in pretty good shape. I bought the unit late in the summer of 2012 for fifty bucks.

Don't know much about the Baycrest products except that it was the in-house brand of THE BAY retail stores. Years later Baycrest was replaced by the Beaumark brand. The front badge reads 'Baycrest - Portable Washer'

Ah Baycrest! The harvest gold range and refrigerator in my parent's kitchen were Baycrests. I don't know exactly when the brand started but it was 1979 when Beaumark replaced the Baycrest name. This was at the same time the Bay took over the Simpson's department store chain.
I remember seeing these twin tubs on display at the Bay in Dorval where we always shopped! | ||

Harvest Gold Baycrest fridge Paul, Heres the pic of an old Baycrest fridge. Yes these appliances were real beauties in their time - they had that sort of a seventies 'classic' look I guess just like the Hoover washer the ranges, fridges, etc., were branded names too?
