I just posted four new items to the Ephemera library. I'll do each in a seperate post in the thread.
First up is the Whirlpool Builders Appliance Catalog from 1980! It shows off all of the builder models for 1980, some I believe might be builder only products. Appliances highlighted: Electric Range/Microwave Range Combination Models (Connoisseur models). 30" Free Standing Electric Ranges. Microwave Ovens. Convertible Cooktops, Built-in Ovens, Standard Cooktops, Drop-in Ranges, Range Hoods, Trash Masher Compactors, Dishwashers, Bottom Freezer French-Door Refrigerator, Side By Side Refrigerators, Top Freezer Refrigerators, Luxury Top and Bottom Mount Refrigerators, Room Air Conditioners, Automatic Ice Maker, Washers and Dryers, Compact Washer and Dryer, Coin-Operated Commercial Washers and Dryer

Next up is truly a rare find. It's a Franklin washer owners manual, the first I've found for the Ephemera library.
This manual is somewhat generic as the control panels were similar with just different branding. Some of the brands associated with the manual would have been Bradford, Gibson, Coronado, Co-Op, Gambles, Kelvinator etc. Here is a typical machine that it would be packed in (hopefully new and pretty though lol, unlike this one below):

Next up is this washing machine brochure from Dexter in 1957, all of their machines were made by Philco at this time. It covers the automatic washer, wringer washer and double-tub wringer washers.
Here is the 1956, which would be similar to the 1957 but with a different control panel...

Finally is the owners manual to this Wards Imperial Signature Dryer.
Here is what this cool dryer looked like on the farm, again I'm sure it was beautiful the day it was delivered from the Wards store...
