It's a Bendix bolt down diving bell for $40.00 with a chrome handle!
I'd get it myself but I'm about to leave town for 2 weeks and the logistics just won't work. It's in New Lebanon, OH.

Also, some kitchen stuff.

Looks like a Jenn-Air slide in range and a Kitchenaid 21 series Supurba.

Alas, too far for me though. Perhaps someone local would want to save it for me???? I could arrange for shipping or something. ;-)

Actually...

I'm calling about it now. Wes said he can pick it up. These are small, light, and easy to move. I've never seen one with a chrome handle before. The ad says Model 5. Any guesses as to vintage?

From Wes:

I'm picking the machine up on Friday, and Dave is already trying to convince me to install it in the kitchen. Does anyone have any 1890s washing machines? He doesn't seem to understand that 1938 isn't period for 1893. :)

if it doesn't work out for you I'll take it off your hands, I've got a pretty good shipper.

Don't forget me lol, I'm still very interested too. That would be an absolute awesome machine to own. I'll take it off all your hands! :-)

At least for the time being it will probably live in the basement along with all of the other machines. I think we're going to get rid of the two KitchenAid Dishwashers (one to a friend, and one to my Grandmother hopefully) and that will free up some space for the Bendix. As I've never seen one in person, I'm curious to see just how small it actually is. I haven't seen too many pictures that show an accurate scale for them. I hope it works...as they haven't tested it. I can't imagine using that as lawn ornamentation as they suggested though. Do you leave the door open and let the plants grow out the front? The things people put in their yards!

search "1938"in the searchalator and you will find a thread
with a pic of this style of bendix in a 1938 kitchen-that
will give an idea of the size.Because there is no suspension
and no counterweights,it is lighter than more modern F/Ls,
of comparable size,probably around 150-160LB-about the weight
of a heavier dryer.

I guess they're about 30"x36"? They're pretty nifty looking machines, but how do they compare in terms of water usage? Do they, like modern front loaders, use less water for their (small) capacity? I also guess I should take my truck instead of Dave's Hatchback for this one still. I was hoping to get away with using way less gas. My Volvo is living at my parents whilst I borrow the truck. For a tiny Nissan it sure doesn't sip daintily.
