They're popping up like corn at the movie thee-ay-ter. Wish I had your popping smiley head icon to add to the fun.

C'mon Robert, these are so close you just have to have them both. W. St Paul is almost in your backyard. LOL What a nice surprise gift these would make for Fred. Now if these would be in the area of either Arlington, Gaylord, Glencoe, or Hutchinson I would go after them myself. That would give me an excuse to visit my cousins in and around those towns.

Man, I'm thinking the dryer is sunny yellow (in 1966 they simply called it 'yellow') - not white nor harvest. Too bad it wasn't a washer!

Ad says "mint green", I'm thinking they must mean avocado.

Ben,

Maytag called their color "Castillian Yellow".

After '67 they called it Castillian Yellow, before then it was yellow. Then the wonderful shaded Harvest craze was bestowed upon us later on in the 70's!

Always thought it was a bizarre name - even when Pontiac decided to use it in the late 60's on the Grand Prix's as Castillian Bronze!

I'd be curious to know what the actual color is on the dryer. The model number would be helpful.

Could really use a vintage Star Trek transporter right now..

I'm jonesing more for that early 306? dryer than for the washer. Never seen a white knob like that before. Nifty. Hope somebody gets them.

Although, to tell the truth, I may have had my own Maytag windfall here on the East coast...

Sorry about that Ben; guess the brochure I saw on here was from '67 or later. Made the assumption it was called "Castillian" before then, too. It also showed Spanish Avocado.
