Does anyone have any history/info on: Blackstone washers? Hamilton Washers? ABC washers? Were these indigenous designs or made by a larger company to certain specs such as Wizard, Wards and Sears? | ||

Hamilton - Hamilton washers were sourced from Norge in the 50's, with their dryer production starting way before they had a washer to sell. www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T...

Blackstone
I guess that I would know a thing or two about Blackstones. Our family business was a Blackstone dealer here in Springfield, MA, until Blackstone stopped appliance manufacturing in the 1970s. If you have any questions in particular, I could probably answer them.

Was Blackstone it's own design or a rebadged version of some other brand? | ||

Blackstone 350
Blackstone manufactured its own design, with the factory in Jamestown, NY. A couple of pictures of a 350 that I rebuilt.
