I'm trying to identify the make/model of dryer that we had when I was growing up. I believe it was a Westinghouse from the 50s or early 60s because it had the slant front. The door was sqare with a round window and there was a metal push button latch on the top frame of the door that you pushed down to open the door. There was a control panel at the rear of the top. On the right side was the timer dial and to the far left was a small knob for heat temperature selection. I think it had 2 choices - regular & air fluff. With all the postings I've seen on this site I have still yet to see the same model that this one was. I'm assuming it was a Canadian model since I am from Canada. Gary | ||

That is a little more like it in that the door looks similiar. There appears to be the lint filter on the top left and I don't believe that our dryer had a removable lint filter. I remember the top being completely smooth and one solid piece. I wish I could see what the controls looked like in that pic. Gary | ||

Nope that's not it either. The controls on ours were on the panel at the top rear of the dryer. The panel was about 6-8 inches in height. On the right side was a large knob for the timer and on the left side was a tiny knob for the heat setting. Also the door was more like the one in your post #339050.
