A year or 1.5 years ago, GE announced a full functioning kitchen and laundry with full sized appliances with designs to fit in small urban spaces efficiently. Made me think of The Wonder Kitchens.  What's old is new again again.

I have become so annoyed with un-learned sellers (probably younger and just can't relate to earlier times) who incorrectly date and label appliances they're selling.  In the case of this Ebay listing, the seller originally claimed this group was "robins egg blue", which told me that he/she didn't have a clue about the color.  So I emailed him/her and simply told same that unless the appliances or the cabinets had been repainted, they were turquoise green, one of GE's mix-n-match colors introduced in 1955.  I have since received a nice thank-you email from her, and note that she has since corrected the color in her listing.  Ta-da!

Similarly, just this morning I found a 40" GE range on Ebay that was incorrectly identified as a 1950's model and that the color was "rust red".  Hummmpff.  I sent that seller an email explaining that the range was "coppertone" (a color GE introduced in late 1962 - hint - your date is wrong) and based on the photograph that they were providing of the identification plate the model number was J466 and the range was likely produced in 1965 (give or take a year).  We will see if any of that information makes it into the listing.

Easy enough to tell someone that they're incorrect without insulting them.

Unfortunately black was not one of the GE "Mix or Match" colour palette... This must have been repainted at some point, alas.
