Lets start off a new month and a new thread with a Philips Fridge.
I am not sure of the age of this, its certainly not late 1960s/early 70s, so I am going to do for mid to late 1970s. The exterior is not great, but the interior looks immaculate CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

Not English Rose
But another metal kitchen. This of course is 1950s although the worktops looks to have been replaced in late 1960s early 1970s. The device on the wall over the sink is a non-instant hot water heater

Parnall Pair
Mid to late 1950s, its likely that these were bought as a pair. Unusual to see a vent connector for the dryer

English Electric
Early 1960s. Its an interesting hangover from the 1950s in that it shows more modern styling and had two radiant plates but has the old fashioned grill (broiler) /hotplate arrangement - that's the large rectangular plate

GEC Cooker
Although there are some similarities to the previous cooker I think this is a GEC or perhaps a Revo (which might have been in the EE group by that time)

Tricity President
Another remarkably clean, if somewhat dusty, cooker for almost 40 years old. This must have been towards the end of this particular iteration of this cooker as the oven temps are in centigrade.

Electra FF
Although branded Electra I think this was manufactured by Tricity. Its shows a format of FF that became popular towards the end of the 1970s for a smallish freezer on top of effectively a larder fridge, a reversal of the usual arrangement

NOT GEC!
Well this is an unusual pair for over here. We see American fridges often enough but I would never have expected to find a 1950s model WITH THE MATCHING FREEZER!
Sorry, got a bit carried away there, as apparently did the seller when they were setting the price. Always has to be something doesn't it? CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

Hygena Contour Kitchen
Mid 1970s. I wonder if this kitchen was originally a more vibrant orange colour than the rather revolting coral shown in the pictures. It looks to be not bad but its expensive. It looks like there at lights in the bottoms of the upper, deeper wall units

Singer iron
I wonder who manufactured this for them, in some ways it has a look of Morphy Richards about it in that it looks rather reminiscent of the Atlantic and from the bottom it looks rather like a large Senior iron.

Supertwin 111
Last iteration of this long running twinnie. Any American readers might like to compare this to the Speed Queen twinnies which have been posted recently as the Speed Queen is based on an earlier version of this machine. Its getting pricy though ....

1930s
It looks strange that it was styled so much like a radio. At that time of course the use of Bakelite was being pushed as far as possible, I have even seen a Bakelite coffin. Well it looks like it might have been a bridge too far as there are several cracks in the unit, still the price is right for a display piece at least

HMV
Not just records! We had quite a long history of HMV manufacturing the likes of record players, radios etc. But around WW2 they manufactured a number of small appliances and indeed I have advertising material well into the 1950s of irons and the like. The pre-war equivalent of this machine was a shiny chrome affair, this is the more restrained post-war Bakelite equivalent. Actually given a good clean it could come up nicely. By the way, the HMV name was used in other commonwealth territories for vacuum cleaners and such

Any old iron
To my eyes this looks quite similar to the Singer iron posted above. The heel rest I obviously different but actually looks more Morphy Richards than the Singer did. Timothy Whites was a chain of chemists (drug stores) started in 1848, was bought over by Boots (another Chemist chain - still in existence) in 1968 but the name disappeared in 1985. Rather like Boots they sold a few small appliances under their own name - I have a TW Kenwood Chefette (in avocado no less!) myself

The Ultimate Contessa
I would say mid 1980s, and I believe this to be the final incarnation of a cooker that had been around from the mid 1960s. As fully featured as the previous one, but styled differently

late 1960s Belling
Only 18 inches wide, this burner arrangement was not so practical as some others as the triangular layout rather than L shaped layout did not allow space for an electric kettle or coffee percolator. There is a storage compartment under the main oven. Its also VERY expensive for what it is.

Jackson Topline
I have been staggered by the condition of some of the cookers and ovens I have been posting this month in so much as they appear to have hardly been used they are so clean.
And here is another. This must have been pretty much the last gasp for Jackson in its initial product run - the name was revived in the late 1980s as a supposed TOL brand but it was not a great success. We know this cooker (for I have posted such in my threads before) went on to have ceramic hob and fan oven versions but that was after it has been re-branded Creda.

Cooker Control Box
Not seen this type before, MK are the most common. Flush or surface mounted, this one looks like it was surface mounted
For non UK readers this has long been the method of connecting a cooker (range) to the line from the distribution board/fuse box with a switch to locally completely isolate the cooker from the mains electrical supply, with a socket for a kettle or some other device. The same principle is used today although the switches are now somewhat smaller. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

Gas cookers
This is a Newhome model, I believe the company lives on under the Stoves Brand. This is a 1960s model, it appears the burners are at the sides of the oven, what little I know of gas cookers usually has the oven burner at the back

Creda Europa & kitchen
This was one of those "gasp" moments as I have long wanted to get one of these ovens - in its day it was top featured as it had a fan oven with a rotisserie in the second oven/grill chamber - usually it was one or the other, not both. This is the second iteration of this oven, previously it had handles as shown on the Carefrees above and looks to be in particularly good condition. I do not believe the kitchen to be of particular high quality. Well the gasp soon changed to a rather different exclamation when I saw the price, as I consider it rather high to say the least.

Hoover Dryer
It would not be a fresh posting without a Hoover Tumble dryer it seems. I don't know where this fits in the line up with a proud door (this style was dropped around 1980 or so) but it must be much later, early 1990s I am guessing.

NIB 1970s Bex Bissell
My parents had one of these back in the 1970s although they had been around since the late 1950s or so. I think we have better carpet cleaning options today LOLOL
And here is a little reminder of those of us of "a certain age". I clearly remember this advert from my child hood. It is interesting in that it uses what I might call the "Persil technique" (is was used in several of their advertisements) in that criticism is conveyed not by words but by a look or a frown from one woman to another but picked up by the other woman. The look that says "you have a dirty house/laundry" CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

Thanks for posting that. Actually it's still no proof of that these were sold this way in the UK, it could have been bought in the NL and later moved to the UK. I still could be wrong ;-)
Talk about Creda cookers, yesterday afternoon in Escape to the country one appeared in the second house. Or perhaps a different brand, but it was a similar stove to the ones you posted here. | ||

Back To the Country
Louis
Thanks to BBC iPlayer I was able to quickly check back. Actually there were two cookers of the type I normally post here - one in the second (small) house and one in the smaller part of the double holiday let. They are both Tricity Tiaras and are the BOL versions of the Contessa models posted in reply 28 & 29. The first one could actually be contemporary with the one shown in reply 28 - the Tiara was launched in something around 1975 and they were in the halls of residence communal student kitchens when I went to college in September 1976. No timer, no double control ring, and no second oven combined with the grill, even the control panel and knobs were cheaper. This model continued for very many years unchanged, the second is a somewhat later model with slightly different knobs and even more BOL in that it only has three rings instead of four. Al PS my goodness how handsome Alistair Appleton looked with the beard. | ||

Further up the thread I posted a cooker control switch, well this was by far the most popular model, from the early 1960s. It got a styling update in the 1970s but fundamentally it was the same. How this worked was that the front panel was removed leaving the switch assembly. This was mounted into a large box, buried in the wall. Then the panel is screwed back on. the front panel was quite a bit bigger than the mounting box.
There is a lot of space around the switch but it did allow for the thick cables needed for a cooker CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

MK Cooker Control Unit 2
This is fundamentally the same unit (and about the same age) with the same purpose but in a smaller surface mounted box. It must have been a bugger to wire up.
I should have mentioned that they were also available without indicator lamps CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

Just when you thought i had goen away ....
I am back with more.
Lets kick off with this 1960s kitchen. I do not like it as much as some I have posted on here, I suspect it was custom made for the house and probably was expensive back in the day. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

1970s Kitchen
The Moffat oven indicates that this is from the early 1970s, by the way the Moffat hob is not contemporary with it but must have been added later. This is a UK manufacture rather than Canadian Moffat by the way so the oven elements are on the sides of the oven rather than top and bottom. The AEG dishwasher is probably the nearest thing we had to an "electric sink" - never something that was popular here and it does stand out somewhat in the whole kitchen. Mind you the reaction I have when seeing it is "Want Want Want" but of course it is far too far away from me. I love the green floor tiles too ....

1980s Kitchen
Typical mid 1980s kitchen. The Built in fridge is a bit unusual in that it has a décor panelled front rather than a solid door. Personally I think this is a better arrangement than the current style of hiding a (smaller) fridge in a cupboard. More interest in it than I would have expected

1980s Zanussi
Not much time left on this one I am afraid.
I think this is the first time I have seen the term Boilwash on a washing machine CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||

Eastham Burco
The larger of the two Eastham Burco dryers - I do not know whether Burco manufactured these or not, the drum seems to be of unusual construction.

Parnall Autodry
This was the first model of this long running series of dryers - must be late 1960s and looks in good condition

Flatley
A cheaper, late 1950s alternative to a tumble dryer. heather in the bottom, the damp clothes were hung from the rails - does not look very safe to me although I believe they were quite popular. I think it is expensive for what it is. My memory tells me they were about the size of a small wringer washer

And another
Late 1980s or early 1990s I think. It unusual to see an dial to regulate how intensive the wash is

Those Flatley Driers
Would never be allowed today, very unsafe. But as with many other things they served a purpose at the time so there you are then.
www.1900s.org.uk/1950s-60s-flatle... These Flatley driers were simply small condensed versions of the huge cabinet driers with racks found in commercial laundries, steamies, wash houses and great houses. Worked on the same principle; heat rose from the bottom and via convection dried laundry and was carried off at the top. Problems arouse if anything was placed too close to heating elements it could not only scorch but catch fire. If the latter happened wouldn't be long before everything inside the dryer began burning with unit following. Worse if the thing was near drapes or whatever that could burn.... | ||

Full set
Tricity oven, Creda Hob, Tricity Hood. I wonder if the hob was a somewhat later addition as the oven and hood are slightly older. All looks in good condition

Moffat Hob
From the same seller as the Miele oven above. This is definitely mid-1970s and if it is contemporary with the oven then ages it more accurately. It is not THAT rare LOL

Later Tricity
The stainless Tricity oven above was the early 1970s version of this oven, this is the late 1970s, in this case with black glass doors but it was still available in stainless too. Its unusual to find then still with the rotisserie attachments. Shame its in Armagh as that will severely limit its market

Carron Oven
I have posted several of the Carron range style cookers but this is the first time I have seen one of these wall ovens. I have seen these in an advertisement from the mid 1970s and so know that it was also available in single oven and gas versions. I owned one of these myself in the mid 1980s and actually it was not a bad oven but the lower oven was not thermostatically controlled so it was essentially just for warming or as a grill. It is also slightly larger than the Tricity/Creda/Neff contemporary ovens, but not quite as large as a Moffat.

Miele
Thanks Louis, it is so helpful when other members can add to the communal pool of knowledge.
I would be very interested in doing a comparison of appliances between British and other European markets - I have always felt that, because we are an island and certainly in the 1960s and 1970s, the British market developed somewhat differently from other European countries although I think they converged again in the 1980s and 1990s. And not just Britain but it would be interesting to see how appliances and designs in Holland for example, compared with other European countries | ||

Comparison
Alistair, I agree. It would be interesting indeed to compare. I noticed too that the British market developped differently than the market on the continent, albeit that there were big differences on the continent too, including Scandinavia.
As for the NL, our market was rather similar to the German market, with Germany being our biggest trade partner. Ofcourse we had Philips, but in the seventies most other (and smaller) appliance manufacturers had gone. | ||

...finished the ironing all the clothes ...
Proper ironing technique requires things be aired after the process to carry off any remaining moisture. If this isn't done not only is there a chance of mold/mildew but things can muss again easily.
Back in the old days linens and whatever would be draped over a horse and placed near a range or other source of heat. That or would simply be hung on hangers or over a horse and allowed to rest. Of course if you had an airing cupboard you were all right. When bed and table linens along with much clothing including everything but the most dainty undergarments were made from heavy stuff, no amount of ironing got everything totally dry. Well you could try but there was the risk of scorch. So you ironed things until done enough then let nature take care of the rest. | ||
