I took half a day's vacation today to check out the warehouse. You all know that I used to be strictly Frigidaire. Then came along all those Maytags. Well now, my 1959 Lady Kenmore dryer has a new sister. This is what I brought home today.

Newly acquired 1961 Kenmore dryer and the 1959 Lady Kenmore dryer together. The 1961 is shorter as she has no legs.

Without a doubt, she does have one of the cleanest drums I've ever seen.

I couldn't get to open the door, so I don't know the year of this Kenmore Frog Eye dryer - it was really buried deep.

Wow, cool finds.
I had that brown kenmore washer once. It was white and needed a pulley installed. That was easy. That was 1982. Wow.

It looks like you have got an excellent stash there. Looking good.

Rich, post 227402, the knob to the right of the timer, does that say speed control? Very nice finds. Glad you're starting to appreciate Kenmores.

Your stove is a high-backed Chambers model C. It is a really good stove, and I have heard nothing but good things about them. They are super-insulated and hold heat very well.

Beautiful collection,
Dave

Yes Bob, it does. I'll get a close up shot tomorrow. But I think it has 4 speed combinations plus an automatic setting.

Thanks!

The Frog Eye/Cyclops Dryer

Very nice; the timer knob looks like a transition from the
1955 high end models. I'd love to see its sibling washer.
Great items you are finding!

There was a similar coppertone set in the scrapyard here a few months ago. Tried to save them, but they wanted waaaayyyy too much for'em, so off they went to Toyotaland....

I thought that was the Kenmore 800 model.

Your collection is great. I believe my next door neighbor had the Kenmore in Post 227402. They also had the matching dryer. I hope you've got more photos.

Good Luck,
James

No, none of these are spoken for as of yet Graham. Mike took the gold 1972 Kenmore washer (from the other post) home today. We plugged it in here and once we replaced the burned out light bulb (common to *ALL* machines) everything worked fine on it. I also brought home another 1967 Maytag A806 to work on. Since nobody wants those, I'm giving them back to Rege to sell at his place. I can't keep everything and they're too nice to krush.

1961 Kenmore Dryer

"Trainguy":

The colored row that is next to the cycle/timer dial, is it just a decoration of the control panel??? Or are those a row of push buttons???

Hi Charles,

On the 1961 Kenmore, those appear to be buttons but are actually just decorations on the panel like you thought. Each one has a different letter A through K (minus the letter I) that corresponde to a letter on the dial. I'll be glad to get a close up shot for you of the timer dial this week. Thanks for asking.

Rich

hey Rich

That Kenmore with the suds saver is just like my mothers!! would love to have that if your ever interested in selling it feel free to email me Timonator@alltel.net Thanks

Me too.

My mother had an identical Kenmore 600-Series washer in Copper. I think that she used the Suds Saver once. Unfortunately, she didn't get an Automatic Dryer until a few years later (after I was born), so her dryer was the same brand and model, but it didn't match.

That always annoyed me while I was growing up.

I remember the measuring cup, and she also had a pink Kenmore Dryer Ball that you could fill with water.
