For Robert or anyone else, might this be a Coronado?

It's a Kenmore and for $500 I hope they enjoy keeping it :-)

Thats the same one -

I drove up to Dallas to get for free awhile back although mine is in better condition.

At least now I know the year it was made.

1948?

I thought this machine would be much older, unless they still offered semi-automatic bolt-downs as a lower priced line during that time. WP/KM made fully-automatic washers with suspensions throughout the 40's.

That bolt-down washer was produced 1947 thru 1951 or so. Whirlpool's first automatic with suspension came out in 1948.

A Consumer Union article dated April 1948 compares six washers, two of the six require bolting to the floor:

Seems like all of the prices on that website are way out of line.
