This set was built by Franklin and probably from the early 60's. I actually did have such a set, it looked almost identical to this one and sold it off to someone back in the 80's. It had the lint filter, which I removed since it did very little other than take up room on the agitator. It had a relatively fast stroke and the tub indexed quite a bit. It washed quite well though and held a big load for a solid tub machine. The dryer was slow in drying.
