Yay! I am on cloud nine! As soon as I get the washer and dryer hooked up I will post more pictures. Yes...this machine has traveled across the country...from Jimmy in Ohio....to Greg in Omaha (who rebuilt the transmission while I watched) ...to me in Southern California. It will be pampered and cherished. And Greg....yes it did come with a sample of Downey! Thanks so much! It was such a great surprize to open the lid and find vintage detergent and softener waiting for me! This machine and the matching dryer were my favorite machines from my childhood. My grandmother had the same set and my favorite thing to do was watch it. My mom also had the same dryer, although she had a 57 Westy Laundromat to wash in. I always wished we had that Frigidaire washer too. Now I do...my dream machine. Yay!!!!

YAY Rich!! Looks like fun, and that was a large load too! Congratulations! Is this hooked up as your current set or do you have modern machines you also use? |

Wow, beautiful dryer Bethann! What do you have for a vintage washer? I don't know anyone who has ever found this dryer in pink, but I certainly could be wrong. The Frigidaire Filtrator dryers are wonderful machines and they produce very soft clothes. But they really only work well if the washer you pair it up with is a very fast spinning washer, such as a vintage Frigidaire. |

I think Rich-Golittlesport has that exact same dryer in Sea-Foam green if memory serves. I think that dryer has also shown up in Nebraska in Stradford yellow. But I do not believe that anyone has found the matching washer in any color but "Snowy White". Too bad you didn't get there in time to save the washer, that would have been an incredible set in sea-foam! |

Hi Bethann! I have the same dryer as you do! Yes, I have two 1955 Filtrators at the moment! But since I have the set in white now, I'm going to sell my Sherwood Green Filtrator to a fellow appliance buff. 1955 was the first year Frigidaire offered washers and dryers in colors. Good luck on your hunt! Rich |

Hi Rich! Glad you received your set!, I didn't realize that the color name is Sherwood green,I always thought it was Sea-Foam! Love that oven! Is that a 62? |

Nice Dryer and its so nice to hear someone else praise the 1950 Appliance Gods!!! You will love that dryer, don't be scared about how hot everything feels when you haul it out. I have never yet shrunk anything in a Filtrator Dryer---EVEN WOOL Socks!! They dry way better than air blower dryers! Enjoy and I hope you find you match at the salvage yard! jetcone |
