+T0SHEA Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I have thought about this idea for over a year. The general concept for this proposal is to find and waymark antique/vintage large domestic appliances which will include the following; Apple or Grape presses* Sugar Cane or Sorghum Presses and Crushers Cheese Presses Honey Extractors Barrel Type Butter Churns Plunger Type Butter Churns Wood Burning Cook Stoves Wooden Ice Boxes Gasoline Washing Machines Flour Bin Tables Mangles/Ironing Machines Cream Separators * Apple or Grape presses are presently accepted in the Old Agricultural Equipment category, if this category passes peer review they will be grandfathered. At that time we will no longer accept them in the OAE category. The category will ONLY accept antique/vintage large domestic appliances. They can be outside on public display or in a FREE museum. If there are several items of the same type they are to be waymarked as a unit, not individually. If there are more than one type, as an example; a wooden ice box and a cream separator both can be waymarked individually. Another consideration are pre 1940s gas/electric stoves and wringer washing machines. We are NOT looking for small kitchen appliances such as, mixers, beaters, pots and pans, peelers, etc. We welcome your suggestions for additional possibilities, and/or other comments. We also need a workable title. More completely defined posting requirements will be provided at a later time. Thanks you for your consideration.

+T0SHEA Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Antique/vintage would be anything from before 1940? Hi elyob, thank you for your question. At this time, we are looking for before 1940s. The older the better. Quote Link to comment
+NW_history_buff Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I was going to suggest the Preserved Machines on Public Display category for these appliances but then read the category description and a sentence reads: "This category is not for agricultural, household or military equipment (there are existing categories for these types of equipment)." So where does a household preserved machine category exist in the category list? I couldn't find one and I'm pretty sure one doesn't exist. Which brings me back to your category proposal. I am one of the officers in the Preserved Machines on Public Display category and I honestly think your vintage Domestic Appliances category proposal COULD be an addition to that category because it fits in perfectly with the category vision and mission. If the other officers feel the same way, we could easily add an addendum to the category description to include vintage household/domestic appliances. I'd even be willing to promote you as an officer in the category and let you add that info to the category yourself, since you've gone to much trouble researching these appliances in the past year. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment

Admittedly there's a lot of cross over between the two categories, but neither of us view the two as sufficiently alike to be amalgamated into a single category. I've done over 100 WMs in the PMoPD category and look at them as being, for the most part, industrial artefacts, something which the appliances in the list given are not. The dichotomy I see (or envision) is domestic versus industrial, domestic being home and farm, even small business. The majority of the Preserved Machines on Public Display I've waymarked were used by BIG Business to accomplish BIG tasks.

And the reference to a household appliance category is a mistake that happened while streamlining the category description, I had not noticed it before. So while there are categories for the other mentioned types like vehicles, the exclusion of household appliances originally had a different reason: prevalence. For every large machine I find, I come along at least fifty vintage tumble dryers that are now on display in private front yards and hold flowers. There are about four just in the street where I live, and it is not a long street. I think vintage household/domestic tools/appliances can be a great category. They could be included to the machines category, that's true, but I would not want to risk that they totally outnumber the objects the category was initially created for. So go for it!

+T0SHEA Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Domestic Appliances/Presses (Title is still a work in progress) Description: The mission of Domestic Appliances/Presses is to locate items that are publicly displayed outside or in a FREE museum. All items submitted MUST be manufactured before the 1940s, the older the better. Expanded Description: The Domestic Appliances/Presses category will only accept items that are manufactured before the 1940s the older the better.

Encouraged additional photographs are: sign with information about the item, identification tags which could include: patent date, manufacturer, serial number, make and model. If in a museum, a picture of the building including name. If there is a sign explaining the item a transcription in the long description is required and noted. The waymarker must personally obtain GPS coordinates. Include at least three (3) sentences describing the location, history or any unique features of the item in your own words (a personal account of your visit). Additional information: If in a museum include their business hours. If the museum offers special events and/or guided tours, please include this information.

+T0SHEA Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 After considerable consideration, we have decided that any wash machine or similar item that are used as planters will NOT be accepted in this category. It appears these are fairly common. However an item that is on display, as an example, a cook stove in a restaurant will be accepted only if it is considered decorative and not in use. Items must meet all category requirements. Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 We would like to address the decision about NOT allowing items that are used as planters. 1. As indicted in a previous post, prevalence was mentioned. We do not want the category to be predominately planters. 2. By allowing planters the category could lose its original intent and the integrity of the category may be compromised. 3. Planters in general have something growing in them, the plant growth could cover the majority of the item not showcasing the item but the flowers, etc. Generally speaking, most we have seen have been altered to accommodate the plants. Lids and wringers are removed from washers as an example. Another concern is the overall condition of the item, as over time they tend to deteriorate, rust and fall apart. Quote Link to comment

"Waymarking to me, is about sharing interesting locations around the World, such as a Museum. Now, the idea is to share photos of antiques inside museums?" We do not see this category differs from any of these objects located in museums: Carriages and Coaches on Permanent Display Covered Wagons Fire Fighting Vehicles Old Tractors Permanent Car Displays Railway Vehicles Locomotives Railroad Maintenance-Of-Way Equipment Static Train Cars Train Cabooses Static Aircraft Displays All of these can be found in museums, though the requirements may differ. In addition there are many categories for specific objects that are also found in museums such as, just to name a few: Musical Instruments LEGO Sculptures and Models Coca Cola Memorabilia Anchors Barber Poles Bells Millstones Punishment and Disciplinary Devices Ship Screws and Aircraft Props Sundials Time Signals Trophies, Medals and Cups Wagon Wheels Coin-Operated Fortune Telling Machines Foucault Pendulums Hand Operated Water Pumps Mold-a-Rama Machines Old Agricultural Equipment Penny Smashers Taffy Pulling Machines Vintage Gasoline Pumps I think you get my point.

My vote in peer review - NAY My Comments: Still too many questions for me to say yes. What about stuff in antique stores - can those be waymarked? What if they are sold? How does one prove manufacture date for an item that was mass produced for several decades? 1939? 1940? 1941? I see this as a reviewers nightmare - way too many submissions and too many waymarks are going to be declined. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment
+T0SHEA Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) jhuoni, There seems to be some misinterpretation of permanence first referenced in peer review. We did overlook including "All items must be on permanent display" in the proposal now in peer review. It seems some are of the understanding that this was to imply that items are moving around from location to location. This is not the case. I suggest you read post #20. We addressed these concerns in the post that follows: Post #18 by BK-Hunters - Posted Today, 03:45 AM "We are going to add a few details to the description after peer review: All items must be on permanent display.

These too can be swapped out. How is this proposal any different then countless other categories that already exist? The only difference I see is the size of the objects. It looks like smaller objects are supposed to be less permanent than large objects, and yes, this is maybe true. But anything can be moved if you have enough power, and nothing is permanent when you apply a large enough time span. My definition of permanence is that it was put there without any plans to remove it in the foreseeable future. That is good enough for me, but I don't know how you could convince the ones who have an issue with it. Another presumed issue some people seem to have, is redundancy with the Preserved Machines on Public Display. I am the founder and leader of this category. Domestic Appliances are excluded from the Machines category, they have been excluded from the beginning. So this is no issue, there is no redundancy at all. Quote Link to comment

+T0SHEA Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) It just occurred to me: There is a category for: Relocated Structures Description: Find a structure that has been moved from one site to another. It can be a building, bridge, arch, or other man-made structure that has been relocated in its lifetime. There are currently 957 approved waymarks. The point is nothing is permanent, all buildings, bridges arches or other man-made structures approved in this category were moved. Even statues, sculptures, historical markers, war cairns, cars, planes, space crafts, and countless other examples can be moved. We waymarked a church that burned down about 6 months after we waymarked it. How permanent did that turn out to be. Buildings burn everyday, objects are destroyed or vandalized. Murals are painted over, objects are relocated or put in storage. There is just no guarantees that an item will stay where you waymarked it forever. As far as any item waymarked in a museum, it can also be said they can be moved or removed. Edited January 15, 2017 by BK-Hunters Quote Link to comment

I have left comments on several missing WM's, and even posted coordinates to the new location. This really effected the way I view this site. I have posted a few relocated buildings and one CSA statue, but I just don't have the same interest here anymore.

Yeah, but you get my point don't you? The peer review tells me that even the yea votes have negative comments, and it will likely pass. I do believe that you have so limited the category that only your photo collection will fit the category. Waymarking is looking more like an indoor flea market than interesting locations.

I will NOT consider that museum as FREE admission. For those of us who always leave a donation, we'll never know if we can visit such places without that show of appreciation. Quote Link to comment

We just never asked the question "Do we have to make a donation?" As you stated, they do expect a donation. It reads "entrance is by donation". One cannot logically infer that entrance "May Be" or"Might Be" by donation. It IS by donation. The amount is up to the visitor, but some amount is definitely expected in this case.

+T0SHEA Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 We have a new name: HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES and PRESSES. This will put the emphasis on "Household". (for home use only) Any item that was used for commercial purposes will NOT be accepted into this category. Currently the directory has not been updated to reflect the change. Quote Link to comment
