I believe so. That is why im asking what washer from that era has the best look for a match. |

I believe our webmaster once posted a picture from an ad for an early Frigidaire washer (from the '40's, shaped like your dryer without a backsplash) with a matching dryer that he said was made not by GM but by Hamilton. So you might try doing a "reverse match".
Very beautiful dryer; we bought a farmhouse in 1970 that had one of these and a 1958 Frigidaire Unimatic in the mud room. After three years I was able to petition my parents to scrap the two antiques for a 1973 Filter-Flo pair. My vintage appliance karma was ruined, I believe by that IGNORANT, move. I still kick myself when I think about those two beautiful machines, but, what did I know at that time?
Could you post a close-up of the two control dials on that pretty Hamilton?
Here's my favorite Hamilton: |
