This is the 1959 TOL Norge washer and dryer. Since I began picking up and working on washers and dryers from 1970 on, I have NEVER run across a washing machine like this one. I have run across, picked up and worked on many solid tub Norge machines, but not this one or even the forerunner in 1958. I have had and worked on the dryer pictured here and on many many Norge dryers of that vintage. There were many of the dryers still around and running. Obviously the washers did not last terribly long or there would have been more of them still around. I know they had various service problems, one being the pump. It certainly gave Norge a bad reputation from the 50's that seemed to carry through to the 60's & 70's. It is a shame they didn't have a little better design since they washed clothes so well. Consumer reports gave them a bigger boost than a massive advertising campaign would have done.

It only dispensed what you loaded before you started the load. There were no reservoirs. | ||
