Nice, and rare too, were'nt too many of those around back then for that amount of money. Moms house hear has a Homart exhaust fan in the ensuite bathroom still working, still looks new. I thought the one in her kitchen was as well but it's a Blo-Fan also from the early 50's and has its original Blo Fan rheostat wall switch

The Kenmore name makes the inner housewife in me go "ahhhh....", the CRAFSTMAN appliance motor on the inside makes the MAN in me go "Humph humph humph humph humph!" (like Tim Allen on Tool Time). Beautiful DW and still in operation. Yay for Kenmore! |

I'd also be interested to see the price of a competing HoBART KitchenAid from that time as well. Aren't the Sears machines considered one the better impeller designs that are more effective at washing than others? |

Welcome to the Kenmore club ! I just completed my '55 portable and I love using it. The round flip top is really cool. |

Some better than others, I love my 1950 Westinghouse which is installed in my kitchen as I use it daily. The Westhinghouse cleans perfectly, I have rarely have to wash anything twice. Some of the credit has to go to Cascade with Dawn, its seems to be made for impeller dishwashers and produces results better than any detergent I have ever used in vintage machine.

I seem to remember that the HOMART name was also used by Sears on outdoor equipment such as hoses and tools, etc. I also seem to remmeber seening HOMART central air conditioning condensers as well. Also the above ground pools that Sears used to sell were under the HOMART name too. These were all in the late 50's and early 60's. |

SUCH a tiny impeller. *AHEM* size queen. lol --just kidding-- COOL! I had never seen the Homart name except in my house which had a SEARS /Homart oil-fired steam boiler. The house was built in 1946, and the neighbors say it was at first coal-heated. So I am not sure of when the Homart heater was installed. |
