This is a commemorative edition of the Bendix Deluxe Automatic Home Laundry that was available to dealers for display in their stores. Celebrating 1,000,000 automatic washers produced, it was a bit of a different machine in that it had a painted top with gold and silver accents and a gold plated door. You can see in the pics that some of the paint has lost it luster over the years, probably from being exposed to sunlight in a store window. The washer has never been installed or even plugged in as far as I can tell.
The man I bought it from said that his grandfather was an appliance dealer in Missouri for many years, which is where he saved this machine from when the store was closed. His wife grew tired of it in the corner of the dining room and he looked for a new home for it. I've had it here for a number of years but need to make some room and don't really have the space to display it properly. Let me know if you're interested. |
