Others may know the exact year.......
but Lady "K" was still being used just about till 2000..... My first new set from Sears was the Lady "K" in 1986.....and these were TOL (non-digital)...... the Digital sets were called LIMITED's after the Ladies and the Limiteds came the "ELITEs".......which I am not impressed with.... | ||

Also what about "COLDSPOT" for refrigerators.......when did that stop, a shame though....these were their trademarks.....
Lady K Coldspot Craftsman LXI all known names that meant it came from Sears/Roebuck, another one that got dropped, well not really dropped, but for years thats how you refered to them... | ||

I remember cold spot fridges my mother use to own one that was harvest gold the freezer was on top but it was a great fridge
and my question is around what time of year did they stop using real wood tops on portable dishwashers like this one particular model? i had that particular model of a portable dishwasher in harvest gold as a kid as well as my godmother har a similar model portable as well that she converted to built in a couple of years later but her model had the push to start button.

 My mom's BOL side-by-side must have been among the last of the Coldspots.
It arrived in 1975 and remained in the same place for the next 33 years. I let them take it away when our new KA Architect side-by-side was delivered. I already had a '70 Whirlpool party fridge with a wide door, something I prefer over a side-by-side in order to accommodate large trays and/or cake boxes, so I had no reason to hang onto the Coldspot even though it looked good as new and ran that way too. Nobody I knew wanted it, so off it went. I felt reasonably confident that the delivery men would have a way of re-routing it to a new home if they saw fit, since this was well prior to any cash-for-clunkers program and related verification systems. | ||

Another Sears "brand" that vanished was HOMEART. It was on water heaters, furnaces and steel kitchen cabinets and probably other things I don't know about. Our HOMEART water heater had a beautiful square escutcheon that was in pale shades of gold and turquoise. We got it in the late 50s. | ||

You forgot Silvertone. For many years,electronics sold at Sears & Roebuck were known as Silvertone before they were changed to LXI. | ||

I think Sears still uses "Coldspot" on the model number tags of their refrigerators. | ||

Sears Homart The toilet, sink, and bathtub in my parents' house are all Sears Homart. My dad installed them when he built the house in '55. They're all turquoise and still in use today. | ||

What is... ...LXI? I remember Coldspot freezers with the little light at the bottom. And some of them locked with a key. When you went into someone's storage room off the carport of into a walk-in pantry it wasn't uncommon to see first the little Coldspot light shining in the dark. I don't remember Coldspot refrigerators. | ||

My Aunt Doris had that Coldspot refrigerator pictured above with the freezer open; it was white. She got it sometime around '74 to replace her '50 Frigidaire. She had it until it went out about 5 years ago. | ||

MW detergent Yes they had a detergent also almost like Sears. Used it (MW detergent) for a couple of boxes but saw our whites turning grey or yellowing. Went tothe Sears and all that turned out white. This was in the late 60's. | ||

Retromania: yep, I'm in one of the most beautiful places on earth. Hope to host a wash-in soon to show off this gorgeous part of the world, but am a bit embarrassed of my small collection of Norge, Wards, Whirlpool and Kenmores. Hope to add a GE Filter-Flo and a Frigidaire this year and then will send out the invite.
