No problem whatsoever Richard, the Electra is an interesting machine, far to good to be passed over, thank you from bringing it to our notice :)

Frigidaire "Freezer"

vacbear58's profile picture
The quotes are because its not a freezer at all, its an ice cream conservator and operates at a temperature rather higher than a freezer so the ice cream is not rock hard. Its from the 1950s I would reckon, I used to see these very often when I was growing up in the 1960s

Electra Fridge

vacbear58's profile picture
probably Tricity manufacture. This is a typical British fridge from the 1970s, under counter, about 21 inches wide with a frozen food compartment - pre frozen food that is.

Kelvinator Fridge

vacbear58's profile picture
Bit of a trip down memory lane for me here as our neighbours had one of these when I was growing up in the 1960s. They had it when we moved to the area in 1965 and as far as I know it was still in use when they left in 1974.

Art deco fridge?

It's a 70's vintage GE for sure! In fact, that cabinet was used through out the 80's. They changed the bottom toe kick grille, and made the handles color keyed with plastic inserts running the entire top to bottom of the doors.
I bought one in 1988. They called it the "premier model". It had glass shelves in the fridge side. 1990 gave way to the "profile" series.

Velo twintub

foraloysius's profile picture
The Velo was made in The Netherlands, in Barendrecht to be precise. They were sold as Norfrost in the UK too IIRC. I can't say often enough the later models are of inferior quality. Velaundry (as the name of the manufacturer was) used cheap components trying to prevent from going bankrupt. That policy was pretty much the reason that happened in the end.

Ah thanks Louis

They look like they are well made aesthetically but I think I did read somewhere that it's the mechanics of the wash side that lets it down. Not sure about the spinner. They always seem quite expensive when they come up but it would be good to see one wotking

Thanks to Steve for posting the items to the thread. Someone else has kindly added some items directly to the scroll bar above. Whilst it is much quicker to do so I would ask that folks please post to the thread if they have the time - as we can have a dialogue about some of the items like the Velo twin tub posted above.

It also gives a change to highlight something unusual as I will demonstrate below. So please, if you have the time, post to the thread. If you are not sure how to do so my email address is in my profile, I will be glad to detail how its done.

Bendix Dryer

vacbear58's profile picture
Now here is a perfect example of something unusual.

OK, its a late version of the Bendix dryer around from around mid-1970s to mid 1980s - so what?

What is unusual about this is that it is the larger 9lb version, something that is not obvious from the scroll bar. I had quite forgotten that the introduced this larger version until I saw this one, and indeed I think there was a 9lb version of the earlier styling too.

And the price is very good as well given that it appears to be in good condition

Sunbeam Shot Of Steam

vacbear58's profile picture
Another walk down memory lane for me - my mother bought one of these in summer 1973, and I bought an identical one in Autumn 1979. Gotta say its expensive for its condition - these were designed for LH or RH cord entry and the blanking button for the side not used is missing.

Philco Top Loader

vacbear58's profile picture
Goodness, nine bitches watching this one :)

Its just down the road from where I live but at £65 it will be staying there, or at least I wont be buying it. It looks to me like it might be late 1980s. There must be some resemblance to a model I have previously featured as it seems from the wash control that the max wash temperature is 60 degrees but there is a button to boost that to 90

And a brand I have never heard of, anyone ever hears of it before? I would guess that it is from the very late 1950s or early 1960s.

Electrolux Freezer

vacbear58's profile picture
More of a curiosity than something that you could reliably use on a day by day basis I think. It must be from the mid 1970s at the latest as I bought a similar freezer myself in 1978 but has the later style of chrome handle attached on the side of the door - the hanging of the door on mine could have been easily change too.

Parnall Dryer

vacbear58's profile picture
An example of bringing back an old name to put on a modern product. The last product Parnall produced was a small tumble dryer. After the brand was discontinued the same design continued as Jackson and then for a very long time as Creda, where its was updated and somewhat re-styled over the years. Eventually the design did not look much like the old Parnall dryer as all, and soldiered on as Creda for many years. This is a Creda dryer with the Parnall name, and so things go in circles

Main gas stove.

ozzie908's profile picture
Goodness me thats a blast from the 60's I am sure as Mum bought one brand new from the Gas showroom it was a lesser model as no timer but otherwise identical to the one shown, In 1973 My Uncle moved into a new property and he bought the exact one shown second hand from an auction and it worked flawlessly until he moved in 2001 and left it behind for the new occupiers.
I remember the pilot light on his played up so he always had a giant box of safety matches by the side of it he used matches for the grill and oven too but ours had the battery operated glow igniters, We bought a later stove in 82 that was plugged in so it clicked to light and had a clock you could set which was the main reason for having it so Mum could put stuff to cook and go to work, those were the days !!

I know little about these, but would date it to 1980s. made in UK too apparently, which is a bit o a surprise. £45 seems steep given that it is not actually fully functional .....

Manufactured by Philips in Halifax I would reckon. It must be a pretty early one as the Frigidaire logo is affiliated to GM.

Frigidaire Dryer

Steve
That looks very similar to a dryer one of our neighbours had when I was growing up, oddly enough I've just bumped into her in Morrisons not half an hour ago. It was however branded as a Philips and the fascia I think was brown, it was paired with a Hotpoint 1502. She would have had it somewhere around late 70's early 80's, I've never seen another one the same. I wonder if it was badge engineered for one of the major retailers.

I wonder which gas cooker

the 53 year old cake decorator had in 1968, who while making her morning tea blew the entire corner off of 16 floors of the Ronan Point tower block in east London?
Three below her floor died, but both her and her cooker survived the blast which threw her into the safety of her living room lounge. She took it with her to her new residence.

Miele dryer:

This model was launched with other models in 1975 until the new line was introduced a few years later. Earlier models had the lighter, greyish knobs. Most sold was the T333, which had the electronic moisture sensor.

Bosch Exclusiv:

The Exclusiv models have some extra features compared to similar normal models. But more important is that the Exclusiv models are only sold through certified (by Bosch) dealers.

I'd say you're spot on with 1968 this is the one mentioned in the English Electric in house magazine I have from 1966. It's the TOL model with the 'two in one' ring at front right and simmerstat at rear left. The top oven doesn't have a variable thermostat, it's fixed at 300deg according to the advert, looks like that's the case with there only appearing to be a switch by the pilot light.

That wall colour behind it would have gone nicely in my kitchen!

The main (conventional) oven was a good baker, on my Mum's the top over had full thermostatic control but was a disaster to use, burnt everything. The simmerstat plate was not much use either as the support was slightly too small for the aperture i9n the hob so inevitably one of the supports would drop down into the drip well underneath - not the best of designs. I told my mother to buy a Tricity President or even better a Belling Classic :)

Tricity Oven

vacbear58's profile picture
No shortage of these about at the moment.

The one posted back up the thread was the first style in this series, this is the second. Note the ventilation grills at top and bottom are much enlarged - this oven required an aperture of 120cm. Around 1973/74

This is not quite the next version to the one above - the layout of the controls has changed and a digital timer added, but the same knobs used as in the previous. This was updated towards the end of the 1970s with new knobs although otherwise pretty much as before

Creda

And this was the Tricity's main competitor.

Actually better featured as it had both the larger fane oven and a rotisserie - with the Tricity you could have one or the other but not both. It fitted into a smaller aperture, I think its about 100cm high, might be 90cm

No shortage of these Tricity ovens at the moment.

Wrighton Kitchen?

vacbear58's profile picture
From the same seller as the Tricity oven. Well it might be Wrighton although I am not fully convinced - Wrighton were absolutely TOL at the time and this does not look any great shakes to me! What I do know is that it is not worth £800 or anything like it.

Note the early Neff cooker hood - they kept this style, more or less unchanged, for a very long time after this kitchen which would be around 1974.

This time branded as Bosch.

You might wonder why Bosch units feature so often in these threads. Fact is they are surprisingly common, I see far more Bosch units when looking through the listings that any other brand, far more than ever get featured here.

Doubtful if it would be worth £50 even if it was fully functional. Might be worth a low offer though. 1960s

Pricy but its not often you see one in such good condition - its almost exactly 40 years old - from May 1976. Its been slightly modified with a handle to the spinner lid. Flex has been replaced too.

It was the heat switch that made me think it was from WK time rather than Philips, but of course there would be similarities as it was all the same factory. Actually I should have better said early WK days, before there were major drifts from the Philips design.

Hi Al.

We had the model before this which my mam must have got in the 60s. It was in a grey plastic case, was square with a round outlet that said dry nails on it, had the same attachments and a nozzle as well and a strap so you could carry it - not sure how useful that was considering our house only had one plug socket in each room at the time! We had it for years!

Anyway, here is a Hoover New Wave

are quite common in Europe for those without a dryer. Just shake, hang to dry, and hopefully, not too many wrinkles.

I suppose you mean "Wäscheschleudern".

They used to be very common here, but nobody has one anymore these days. With frontloaders with a minimum spin speed of 1200rpm there is no need more. I still have a Miele one that is older than the one featured, but mine looks much better. I don't know what they did with it, but it looks heavy used or should I say not well cared for?

About 1981 or maybe 1982. Some cosmetic damage but should be repairable. Note: these are prone to leaking around the sump hose outlet.

These were great machines where there was plumbing behind as they are quite shallow, around 20inches deep

Yes Louis,

"schleudern" indeed. Not using deutsche daily leaves me forgetting proper spelling.
Seem's my Langenscheidt conversion dictionary has been missing for some time as well.
I only knew what a schleudern was from friends who were German. They owned a model railroad shop back in the 80's and 90's. The wife was from Dusseldorf, and the husband from Wisconsin originally, so I took an interest in the language.
They were a sweet elderly couple. I miss them. I used to spend hours in their shop.
We'd have coffee with other customers, and oogle over and discuss all the Marklin, Fleischmann, and Roco
model trains. I became hooked within a few months.
That group of friends helped me through a very rough relationship break up.
Having advice and compassion from an older more experienced couple who had been through the same thing taught me a lot.
Once, Delos was having some trouble with his NEC VCR channel tuning with cable, so I went to their home and showed him how to program it to the cable system.
They liquidated and retired in 1995, and sold me a lot of my collection at a deep discount.
I wanted to buy their shop, but the neighborhood was changing for worse by then.
My new better half also said no way because more online sellers would kill the hobby shops. Today, there are few left.

This does look like a mid 1970s kitchen although it has been quite skilfully updated over the years, the appliances for the most part are much newer (probably about 10 years old) although it looks like it may have an original, décor panelled fridge. It has stood up remarkably well and still looks reasonably contemporary to be 40 years old

English Electric Cooker

vacbear58's profile picture
These are the pictures Reversomatic was not able to post

This is from the mid-1950s and they do crop up from time to time - there is also one in the Science Museum in London. It comes from a time when they were looking for innovations in kitchen appliances and this was one way to make a premium priced cooker out of, frankly, not that much. When you take the eye level oven out of the equation, it is little more than a basic cooker with a very small oven and no grill chamber.

I have added an advert for this cooker - "Heart-high" indeed

I think the upper part of the cupboard may have a low power heating element in it for keeping food hot - the toggle switch on the front kind of indicates that.

Had a good laugh over the fact the seller thinks the blender is too powerful. The motor is only 400 Watts, but I must admit the blender has the tendency to flow over. It has to do with the form of the jar, but it's a very good blender. No lumps in your smoothie like with a lot of other blenders.

This is an earlier model i.e. pre-1983. In 1983 these machines got a little security light under the speeds selector. The newer machines can be used again after being overheated. With older machines a fuse has to be replaced.

The buy it now price is rather steep, the slicer is missing. No small bowl and no eggwhite and cream beater either. And for that kind of money they could have cleaned the machine!

I wonder what they'd think if they got a hold of a Vita-Mix.

These were around for a long time, the 1950s at least. This is a later version with a three prong connector and if the flex is original then it is post 1970 when the core colour coding was changed

I have that icemaker! It was Philips' first icemaker IIRC. Mine was only 5 euros in a thriftstore.

That toaster is a Philips classic, indeed from the seventies, probably late seventies when everything was brown. My brother and SIL got the chrome version as a gift on their wedding in 1978. It had some orange accents as well.

Vacbear, re; mixer taps

Ok, I may have only seen more photos then of separate taps, as opposed to ones in Germany for example, which always seem to be mixers.
The old house we lived in when I was 6 had separate ones only on the bathroom basin.
Of course, even those are better than a well pump or stand pipe behind or in front of the back to back tenaments, or terrace houses.
My dad grew up without hot water in the house. They had to heat it all on the wood stove in the kitchen until after the war. They also had outhouses until then.
They converted their pantries to bathrooms after the war, and natural gas came in, so also gas forced air heat. Today most of those houses the second to last generation bought from the coal mine company are owned by the grand children, and even have central air conditioning.

Maybe not quite a classic yet, I always wondered what it would be like to bake in one of these ovens.

Not a Chef as stated. Early to mid 1960s, the earliest version of these mixers where grey/white rather than blue/white as shown here

Bosch

foraloysius's profile picture
I don't know much about Bosch built-in appliances, but I had a look at my Bosch brochures. Freestanding cookers with that same style controls were already in the 1987 brochure. They also still appear in the 1994 brochure, but not anymore in 1997.

The Siemens microwave from a bit higher up had already gone out of production in 1990.

Thanks for your input. I based my date upon the later style of oven with similar door and flat metal control panel which I think we already said was later in the 1990s. There is also a resemblance to the controls of the Bosch washers although they retained the "control windows" for rather longer as far as I recall

Yes, the washers were restyled a bit but still had those controls with the lenses. The flat metal control panels stayed a bit longer on the market I think, it was only the TOL models, the models with the lighted controls, that got a restyling in the mid nineties.

Looks oddly like a Wonderwasher.

 

 

I just love the UK appliances.  All kept in such good condition.

 

Some of the kitchen units bring back memories.  Shows such as  Benny Hill, As time  Goes By, Keep Up Appearances, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Love Thy Neighbor, To the Manor Born, Eastenders, The Good Life, and the movie Life and Loves of a She-devil come to mind.

Ever heard of the expression "there is nothing new under the sun". Mind you I am baffled that there should be a market still for such a thing as there are such a variety of mechanically assisted washers around.

Another English Rose Kitchen

I am coming to the conclusion that these are the most common vintage kitchens I have seen. The design was around a good while, I am just amazed at how many crop up

Indes Fridge

vacbear58's profile picture
I wonder if this dogs breakfast is an early model of what we now know as Indesit, the name plate is very reminiscent of the Indesit of the 1960s. Claims it is working and the price is certainly OK, might be a restoration project for someone

That English Rose kitchen in Reply #231 has a very rare AEG 45cm wide dishwasher. Never saw such a high end 45cm wide AEG dishwasher before. Most of them were more BOL.

Toaster in last kitchen photo?

Cool styled toaster. What brand is it?
Do you gut and remodel kitchens Vacbear, or are all these photos rental properties you may help manage during, and after tenants move out?

@ vacerator

vacbear58's profile picture
Unfortunately I cannot see the toaster to recognise the brand, it is a modern, retro styled toaster rather than a retro toaster, I daresay its origin was China

"Do you gut and remodel kitchens Vacbear?
This made me chuckle - only in my own home. The pictures are nothing to do with me at all, they are just ebay listings that I highlight:

1. In case anyone might be interested in buying or restoring a vintage kitchen
2. To let folks from other countries get a flavour of British styles - predominantly in the 1960s and 1970 - to compare with their own
3. Create a record for younger British readers to see how things used to be.

For my sins, I am that species most hated here - a "bean counter" - and indeed my background is that very sort of bean counter working in manufacturing to reduce cost and increase company profits. So sue me, been doing it for nearly 40 years now, not many left to go.

PS I have never worked in appliance manufacturing, so hold the stones and bricks

Many are jealous

of bean counters. Face it, without you, whom would configure budgets, etc.?
Even they are red lined when it comes to an area of specialty.
A P&L bottom line is a bottom line regardless if it is sheet metal, or beans.
My hubbys brother in law is a CPA. He's been a CFO in automotive supplier technologies for years. He tried changing to another field area several years ago. No one wanted him.
He took a job with a brake company acquired from Bosch by Aki Bono about 5 years ago. 10, 12 hour days, and still had to answer the phone at 11 p.m. if the head of the karutzu from Tokyo called. Never a problem with his budgets in 5 years.
He found another job a few months ago with a better work life/home life balance.
Last month, they severed him. Said he wasn't assertive enough. If you knew him, that is not him at all.
Is an actuary a type of accountant also? The government has many.
