These are beautiful, and I am thinking that I know their history... maybe. About a year ago, a one-owner all original 1957 ranch was sold nearby... It was a beautiful home, but fairly small especially compared to what had become of the neighborhood close in to Washington DC. So of course when it went on the market, all of the builders and architects were swarming with their clients and plans to dramatically expand and update... as we have seen in other posts. And in that house were the original Frigidaire kitchen, in pink, and the pink control tower dryer (there was a newish washer). They were all very lightly used. But as I recall, if this is the set, that is a freezer, not a fridge. I recall that the kitchen would have originally had a matching full size fridge and full size freezer, and the fridge had been replaced with a newer fridge. Attached is the money shot of the dishwasher, presuming this is the same one...

... another pic, again, presuming these are the same... if not, enjoy the pics anyway!

My grandmother had the matching fridge, but in white. We acquired it in late 1963/early 1964 as my grandmother moveed out of her house into a high-rise apartment befcause a highway/freeway was being constructed where the house was. We had the fridge until 1969 or 1970 when it was replaced by a SXS Gibson. because we needed a larger fridge and we wanted an ice maker. I haven't seen one of these this upclose since I was about 15 or 16 at the oldest.

In the pic with the oven door open, notice two things: the little hole at the top of each door is the oven vent and the thoughtfully included pan at the bottom of the oven cavity to prevent spills from running out. A school friend had a disaster with a cake running out of a tube pan and leaking into the drawers beneath a GE builtin oven. While this is also because this model has the "Miracle Oven" where you could remove that pan and bake element and position it on a set of rack guides then plug the element in the middle of the oven (see the white porcelain terminal block) to give two half size ovens (a second bake element was under the pan), it made cleaning a wall oven much easier and was also included in the single ovens. Do you see that slot at the front of the pan? There was a little flat piece of metal with a bent over hook at the top that hung from that slot and formed a door for the lower of the two ovens so that A, you could use the ovens at two different temperatures and B, the main doors could be open if you wanted to broil in the upper part of the cavity while baking in the lower. That stainless steel strip above the doors is stuck. It should glide out when the doors are opened. It is the front of a heat shield for the clock because it had a plastic "crystal?" on the front of it and of course the clock knobs were plastic also. The 2 thermostat knobs were Bakelite so they would stand the heat.

John and I found the single oven like this and matching cooktop in stainless steel in a pathetic thrift store in Decatur when we were on an appliance run to my parents in the early 80s. I think I paid less than $10 for the oven. With a little clean up it worked great and sat on top of the counter over the KDS14 in my house in Greenbelt. This wall oven is the same size inside as the 40" range master oven of the period and holds an unbelievable amount of food. It has a 3000 watt open coil broiler that is really powerful, fast and even-heating. It bakes beautifully also with a trusty Wilcolator thermostat.

So is somebody going for these? It would be a fabulous set, though you could be searching a while to find a matching pink control tower washer, lol...

If someone gets them and is interested in more information on the house, just to have a history of where they were from, let me know...

about their history

Congratulations on buying this wonderful set! I am sure folks here know more about the machines than I do, but if you are interested in a few photos of the house that I think they came from, let me know via email.

Chambermaid: I'm still interested in the dryer. I tried emailing you at the email in your profile. If you could send me an email at ford65pu2001@yahoo.com so we can discuss the dryer. Thanks. Justin
