 That wasn't necessarily custom-built... GE wanted to get into the home dishwasher market in a big way in the 30s and they really pushed the "Electric Sink". The GE unit was a sink cabinet, with a steel sink and top, with the GE dishwasher and Disposall built right in. I believe there is a promotional film posted on YouTube featuring Bette Davis demonstrating the dishwasher (not co-starring Joan Crawford being run down the Disposall). One of our dishwasher-loving collectors here has a 1935 one that was pulled from a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home! GE changed the design of the electric sink after World War II to have a porcelain enamel sink and dishwasher top. This remained until the electric sink was more or less phased out in 1955 - the replacement Wonder Kitchen included more than just a sink and dishwasher but went back to a stainless steel sink and top! | ||

The photo from that newspaper ad from 1937 looks very similar including the drawers next to the sink. Appears to be stainless too.
