Welcome Raymond!
Here is a You Tube from 1933 with Bette Davis doing a promotional film for General Electric. She does a mini demo of a GE in counter dishwasher. I would love to see one of these in action. As far an automatic washer of close to that vintage, I beleive that Bendix did make some of the early style FL's that didn't have to be bolted down, but they are probably from the early 40's or post WW2. I had a babysitter in th mid 50's and she had one like this. It fascinated me! It was on her backporch and there were RR tracks behind her back fence. When the trains would go by and the Bendix was washing sometimes the door would spontaneously come open from the vibration of the train. She used Cheer and the little hole on top where the detergent went was always open and there was a permanent crust of Cheer all around it.

Welcome to this wonderful group of guys. I'm sure you will fit right in.
I started collecting antique radios at the age of 12. It slowly evolved into TV sets then into appliances. I have not only washers and dryers but also some refrigerators. Since you are a "fridgenut" here are my refrigerators I currently own. 1949 Hotpoint(two door unit, originally white but now pink) 1954 G.E (two door unit currently in white) 1958 Revco (Separate fridge and freezer, built in units in stainless steel) 1965 G.E. Americana (in coppertone brown) I've had several others that I've let go as well. I see you are in Cape Girardeau, MO. I have family just north of you in Festus. Anyways, again welcome to this group and don't be shy! |
