If nobody gets this...
I might just have to pick it up just to save it.
If someone wants this, SPEAK UP BY MORNING! I don't want to step on anybody's toes. If someone wants to buy it from me for what I have in it (plus a reasonable mount for 3 hours of driving) I'd sell it because I need it like I need a hole in the head. Dave | ||

 1960 70 series electric dryer. Quite pretty if you ask me.
80 series would have had buttons similar to the 1959 Lady K, and the 90 series would have been the Lady K.
EDIT -
What's strange is this dryer doesn't exactly show up in the '60 Spring catalog that Greg scanned and posted a few years ago. The CL ad dryer doesn't have the lint storage system. I'm going to shoot in the dark and say that it might have been either a mid-year change or there were multiple 70 series models to choose from. CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK

The CL ad dryer doesn't have the lint storage system. According to what I saw in the 1959 Sears Wishbook at wishbook.com this dryer is an early 1960 model because the one in the 1959 catalog has the standard lint trap likke the one on CL. They must not have gone to the lint storage system until sometime after the beginning of 1960. This washer and dryer was offered through Christmas 1962 but the 1962 models had gone to the straight front cabinets like all Kenmore laundry appliances had done by that time......PAT COFFEY | ||

Home in my garage.
Seller said his mother-in-law bought it shortly after her 1959 son as born, has owned it ever since. He knows she routinely also hung clothes outdoor and in the basement, it never got much use. He also said he has been her handyman/repairman for 36 years of marriage to her daughter, he doesn't remember a single problem ever. It's got that beautiful bowed front, but the actual base is rectangular, Sears seemed in between transition. or simply in-between. Or transitioning.

timer knob Timer has 3 overall cycles. I am guessing this is heat-versus-timer?? I won't get it downstars and plugged in for a few, sorry, just guessing here.
My take is 3 cottons cycles ABC with minor cooldown. Then D is delicate, likely low temp. E and F are WnW cycles, and you can specifically feel a detent in the turning knob as it goes into COOL AIR at the end of WnW. My guess is high temp but significantly longer cool down than regular cotton ABC? And the detent lets you easily choose AIR ONLY at the end of the WnW.

catalog Here is a Christmas 1959 catalog showing what's new for 60. According to the ad, it has a drum light and a germicidal SunFresh lamp, I haven''t gotten into the machine to find out. My Model #110.6018700, serial M500057, if anyone knows mfg date??? Model corresponds to the advertisement here as far as that 1870, so I believe sweztoyz is correct, 1960 Serries 700. The ad says "...automatically dried just right...." Who/when did the heat-v-timer design come out?

The end you can see the filter just an inch into the exhaust pipe. Some machines I entirely repaint. Some, like my 1950 Hamilton dryer, I just leave to show their age once I have tested/delinted/lubed them. Who at this age doens't need some lube? This one may not get a fresh coat of rear paint, just a wipe down.
