Very rare GE's. Can we see an interior shot and a close-up of the timer? I think this was the last model before the introduction of the filter flo in 56. | ||

Graham, after you and Rich left I remembered I have the owners manual for the washer in my stash of manuals. Will dig it out and save it for you the next time you visit...... Jimmy | ||

Awhile back i got another GE dryer that i think is the next Compare and contrast the two dryer styles. I actually like the BOL dryer better. It has a more unique door and latch.

pre-filter flow But isn't this a solid tub machine? Those are always fun. I always love a spin/overflow drain. Nice set Martin | ||

The dryer you got from me Graham, has a two position heat switch, HI or LO. The other dryer you posted a picture of, which is a slightly higher line model has a variable heat control, similar to a 1955 Filtrator dryer. | ||

Congratulations Graham! Your collection is growing by the day! <: My mother had the same model GE dryer. I recall a drawer on the bottom that had a screen inside it. The drawer had to be pulled open, then you simply lifted the screen out and brushed it of with a lint brush that came with the dryer. The dryer was still in use when I left home in 1973. Graham, could you please post some pixs of the washer and dryer interior? Would love to see the steel dryer drum again, and very much want to see what the washer basket looks like. Thanks! | ||

Too cool! Thanks for the interior shots Graham. So this set is from 1955.It is wonderful to see a set from the early days. I would consider this to be a very rare set. It's odd that my parents bought a dryer in 1955, but did not purchase an automatic washer until 1957 when they bought the Kenmore washer. Prior to that, mom had an Easy spin dryer and the GE dryer exactly like yours. I can recall that my father set the Kenmore up so that part of the old Easy was used as a suds saver for the Kenmore. It wasn't too long before the Easy was gone from the basement altogether, so my mother must not have liked using the suds saver very much. I remember my father "gutting" the Easy and asking what was up with that. I was a very young kid then, so this is a very early memory for me. It is too funny, the things one remembers.... It proves that I must have had an affection for washing machines, even at only a couple years old. <: | ||
