Check out the pixs. Anyone want a basement queen to restore?? Looks pretty good, plus the fridge isn't too bad either. Maybe someone here could snag them both. At least, I hope someone can snag the washer. It's even got the cool rounded corners on the cabinet. CLICK HERE TO GO TO rickr's LINK on eBay |

Here is a picture of that washer from the ad. There was a matching dryer here that I was thinking of getting just a week ago or so, but it dissappeared off of craigslist when I went to check up on it. |

Brian, that dryer may appear to be a "match" but they are significantly different. That dryer is actually a match to a 1959 or 1960 Kenmore 70 series washer, probably 2 models down from the Lady Kenmore. I am willing to bet you the washer is even a semi-automatic, not fully automatic. That syle panel got pushed farther & farther down the line as it went into 1960 through 1962. There's no chrom on the front of the washer, like on the dryer, and there's no metal/chrome strip at all on the molded handle scoop on the washer door. Doesn't even look like it had a waterfall filter.

Good call, Bob. That is a semi-auto washer. I don't think Hydro-Swirl was on any other model. Fill with a hose even! You know I'd walk away with that thing washing and come back two days later! This is a page from the 1960 Sears Catalog - the rest of the scans are in the archives - link... CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |
