Nobody has remarked about the beauty of this pair since they appeared around 14 hours ago and I just wanted it to be on the record that these two turquoise machines are beautiful, fabulous and gorgeous. | ||

I always loved the Backsplash on the "pedestals". I wonder how many socks, face cloths slid under the Control Panel and fell in the back of the machine.
The Gold metal Filter Flo Pan is also really unique. Our first FF was a V-12 with the Spiral Activator. Therefore having the Turquoise (or Blue) Plastic Pan. I never knew about the Gold Metal Ones until I joined AW. They are Beautiful machines. Would this be GEs first Programed Pair ? | ||

 This was GE's first programmed pair. I have long thought that this 1958 pair was the nicest-looking version of the GE's - and in turquoise they are fabulous! Tom - I'm glad you started this.
They are beautiful.

That shot of the washer opening before the crud built up on the turquoise porcelain is a work of art. It is nice to be among those who appreciate beauty. Thank you all for your excellent taste. | ||

When my mothers early 50's Kenmore died someone gave us a GE of the same vintage to use but much more BOL. Same big dial on the right, wash rinse temps, water saver and the same Filter Flo pan. Parents ordered a new Kenmore on sale, probably 50 series, and gave the GE to friends that were newly married and needed a washer.

 First GE rinse agent dispenser too. I love the fact that each year of the early solid-tub Filter-Flo's the colors of the activator caps and the FF flumes would change. Also like the 3 keys on that TOL dryer. I wonder what the "De-Wrinkle" key was connected to, if anything.
