Its a 1962-4 westinghouse slant-front electric dryer { they didn't make gas dryers for the WH label yet ] its the last of the slant fronts. In 1964 all thier laundry products went to 27" in width, the full size cabinets got smaller and the Space-mates got bigger. The real find would be the matching washer the 1959-1963 is in my opinion the best of the Slant-Front WH washers, they held a larger load , cleaned much better and didn't tangle nearly as much as the earlier models with the slanted tub. The dryers on the other hand had been cheapened quite a bit and were not very durable.

We had that exact dryer from '63 until my Mom got the Maytag set in '73. It was our first dryer, and I don't remember any problems with it. |
