..and he worked there for a long time back in the 50s. We lived in Rochester and he commuted every day. He was actually one of the engineers that desinged small appliances back in those days. Gee, that must be where I got it. Ironically, we had a Whirlpool washer and a Youngstown Kitchens Dishwasher. I think we had a GE stand mixer that I never wanted to play with. I always wanted to play with my Mom's Sunbeam mixer. I remember he brouhgt home a portable garbage disposal. It never caught on. My Mom said she used it once and thought it was awful. |

What a beautiful set! Maybe they won them in a contest or something. Many homes in the 50's did not have plumbing for an automatic washer. Hard to believe they sat on a back porch for 50 years! When I was a wee lad, our neighbors had this set...plus their old wringer washer for good measure. The lady would often have both machines washing away. Rugs, work clothes and jeans in the wringer --- and linens, towels and the rest in the automatic.

Man how I wish I could afford these. A 57 GE is such a rare model anyway but in PINK!. I loved how GE put the timers on the left side on just this one model year. Sure hope someone here gets these beauties and invites me to the wash-in! |

Whoever spends over $3000 for these please adopt me. I like my toys, but I think this is a bit ridicilous. |

Or a "sniper face" I would imagine. Bidding against yourself is an exercise in futility - all the action will be in the last 20 seconds of the auction anyway. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

I am not selling myself on Ebay, thank you very much. :-) I guess I should hope that ebay and some of these bidders are around when the benefactor of my estate is trying to get out from under it. |

I know you're teasing. I am not sure what I would bring at an auction, but I have some cool radios, tv's, fridges, and the westy set. Whoever bought the lot might just keep me around to advise about maintenace. |

These sellers deserve EVERY PENNY they get for having the good sense NOT to have just thrown these beauties out as they renovate their new home. I may just send them a couple of bucks for having posted the comprehensive pictures of these machines. They know we're out there! If nothing else, I've enjoyed looking at them and the low-voltage drama of this sale! |

What a gorgeous pair. I love the pink color and the pink accents on it most of all I think! For those out there who have done full restorations: how much is it to have a professional repaint on a washer and dryer set? |

Wow! I'm really happy for you! Another valuable set cheats the scrapyard or worse! We want pictures you know. Wish I had my mom's budget '58 GE washer. |
