 A "Marquette" washing machine? Was this an Australian brand? Some store brand? Can anyone elucidate?

Marquette cont. gansky; Thanks, I found no history on them. Franklin design? I've never heard of them either. | ||

Lots of Marquette refrigerators sold in my hometown, I think by the FCX farm supply. | ||

I say Philco because of the console, and the high toe kick indent. | ||

Franklin Built Washer Our family had a 1960 mid line model with the Co-op name on it, it was basically a GE solid-tub copy without the FF lint filter that washed better than the GE but probably did not last any better than the GE ST, our family of 6 1/3 got 6 years out of it with just a few repairs.
Today if people only get 6 years out of a washer they bitch up a storm, LOL. My Mother was pretty happy with getting 6 years out of it as our families first automatic washer, [ a 1955 Kelvinator ] only lasted 5 years when there were only 6 in the family.

Sure looks like the Western Auto washer on the 1960s Sure looks like the Wizard washers I saw at Western Auto catalogs and sale papers when I was growing up during 1960s In south Louisiana most every small town had a Western Auto during the same decade. | ||

Not Gambles I've never seen anything but Coronado branded appliances from Gambles' ads, service info, etc. That was their house brand for many, many years. There was a Gambles store in West Point, NE next door to the Safeway where my grandmother did her shopping. When I was old enough to be trusted alone, I would go to Gambles while she shopped next door. Many times I was shooed out of the appliance department. I was so enthralled with the Franklin angel wing agitators and giant looking tubs compared with my grandmother's standard cap. Maytag and our GE at home.

Extra Large Bottom Freezer Refrigerator Built By Franklin Appliances [ A quality division of Studebaker Automobiles ]
Hi Steve, thanks for the cool memories about your childhood ref. I only ever saw one of these but I do have a service parts list for it somewhere. To me it looked like the freezer door was larger [ taller ] than the ref door.
I always thought that it was a cool idea to have a larger freezer than refrigerator compartment for smaller families and singles, this was another great appliance like combos that was discontinued just as Baby-Boomers were coming of age.

Studebaker Intersting! Like Kelvinator was to Nash, and Frigidaire to GM. | ||
