I remember the day well, we were all called to Granny and Grampa's house for the delivery. What a fine day it was, too, when the shiny brass-and-pipes-and-gauges and such was first used after the grand spring party. All Granny had to do was crank 'er up a few times, and it started, sputterin' and steamin', making mounds of suds, and it cleaned all the dishes to a sparkling clean. What a fabulous new contraption! Thanks, Granpa, now Granny's the envy of the neighborhood.

Parts is parts as they say, used shiny brass parts from several vintage items, a couple of brushes and basic ps tools.

The victorian house is a personal photo, this is a renovated house in Gainesville, FL where I had the good fortune to work as a graphic artist in the early 80s for an ad agency whose office was moved there. (original photos are in sbs.) (5 years and 3493 days ago)

Except for some typography and spacing issues, this is really darling and fun! The copy (the actual wording of it) is great. Love the old ad look! Oh, and love the description too.

Like the thought, only thing bothering me is that the interior is straight (the back of the dishwasher). Can you wrap it so it follows the curves of the whole item. Otherwise - great!!! Liking the typing!
