Dryer is circa 1958 and top rated by CR of that year.
According to my Buying Guide for 1958 the Lady Kenmore High Speed dryer came either fused for 50amp/230v service or 30amp. Drying times were about ten percent longer with 30amp service however. But then again this would have been with laundry washed either in a wringer or top-loading automatic. Either way back then you were dealing with laundry that was much wetter than now before drying. A light glows on the console when lint trap requires cleaning and the dryer has a hamper door. Colors are very 1950's; Pink, Yellow and Green. This was the only check rated electric dryer of 1958, but that applied only if operated on 50amp service. My mind wonders; how many homes in 1950's had 50amp/230v service? |
