Venus, the 'tags were in a retirement-type church home community. The people live in bungalow-style homes (those that are well & able enough to do that on their own). I'm 35, so it was quite a while ago. The thing that irritates me on that place though: We've always serviced all the homes quickly; we let the previous on-site maintainence guy pick our brains for free info for years, etc. When they replaced all these machines last year (they forgot about this poor lady where this pair came from), We lost out on the bid by $5!!!!!!!!!!! We're even related by marriage to the maintainence guy. Well, eventually he got fired and now cleans porta-potties. SWEET JUSTICE!! They got a new fellow in charge & he called us for the new Dependable Care pair to replace these. How's that for the machine's history? When I get back over to the warehouse, I'll take a few inside shots of the Kenmore's. |

May I come down and pick up a Maytag pair this weekend? I promise to give them a good home. Love and cherish them. Clean and polish. Do regular maintenance. And you can have visitation rights. |

OMG! Look at those Kenmores! They're so beautiful. They must belong to some washing machine collector. Who understands those guys anyway? They only keep those things because they're so pretty. |

Wow, these are both in good shape for their ages. I found a KM washer just like that, even coppertone, behind Lowes one night that looked as it it had been pulled up from the river bed. I pulled the top off for the panel and let the rest go. I don't think I even kept the panel in the "Great Shed Cleanout '05" last month. These 60's Kenmores were among the neatest of the lot. Congrats on the great saves!

So what year were the Maytag's made? I guess I'm the only person here who think's coppertone brown is hideous on any appliance. |

I think both sets are absolutely stunning! Look at the styling on those Kenmores! The Maytags take me back, my mom had a similar pair from 1977-1996! Congrats on the beautiful finds! |

I just hate that color on appliances. I also can not stand wood grain on appliances. It just doesn't seem right to me. |

I think the Kenmores are 1963 or 1964 models. Isn't that the same control panel of the turquoise set Robert sold via ebay a while back? The Maytags are 1970's models,as the dryer has the larger door. They are both very nice vintage machines. Coppertone is not my favorite either. However when finding vintage machines that are forty plus years old in this sort of original condition,one must make an exception. Nice catch!! (: |

IIRC the Kenmores are 1963. Look on the model no. The first two digits after the 110 is the year. |

I just confirmed they are 1963 by going to Sears website. They are probably model 1106305801 or close to it. |

Let me set the stage. Parents bought a house in '73 that was built in '55. No dryer no DW, no A/C inadeuate hot water, but I digress. 1-Brown HARDWICK Brand 30" gas range with wasitihigh broier and SS door- TOL in its day which was late 60's early 70's. 2- Brown NORGE bottom-mount frezer refrigerator. 3- Light wood pine kitchen cabinets with copper hardware. "Country look" 4- red flocked wallpaper(vevety fleur-de lis pattern. 5- READY for this? Bull's eyes pattern (but square) 1 foot square (30 cm)ORANGE tile in center, 1 inch (2.5 cm) black trim around that. Then a row of WHITE tiles surrounding that one. More black trim. Then a row of ORANGE tiles surrounding that one. REPEAT to perimeter walls of kitchen. 6- Mom had a YELLOW wall-phone put in in anticipation of the pending color changes. 7- IIRC the dining set had RED pleather chairs and backs. OMG- I was SO relieved when the floor and walls became beige,and the dining set became brown pleather. I am breaking out in hives just THINKING about it. Two beautiful 50's stoves were tossed out. One was ustairs int he rental apt, 40 inches wide (100 cm) and the other was in the basement in the laundry room- 20 inches wide (50 cm). The space for the stove in the above (BOZO the clown's) main kitchen was originally 36 inches wide (45 cm). |

Those LK are BEEEEEUUUUUTTTTIIIFFFUUUULLLL!!!! Thats the exact set and color our neighbors had when I was growing up. He was the store manager for the local Sears and everything they had was Sears "Best" The always drove a Caddy and when they got a new one, he wouldn't drive it until it had Sears tires on it. We moved away in 1977 and went back to visit in 1995. They STILL had the 76 Eldorado in the garage, with Sears tires on it, but sadly, the washer/dryer were gone. If those EVER need a home.... put me on the top of the list!!!

I don't know if guys and gals realize this about this beautiful Coppertone set, but 1963 is the very first year that Kenmore introduced coppertone so its a very rare find. Frigidaire first introduced the coppertone color (called shaded copper) in 1959. There were two WCI-59 washers on the Aberdeen farm in coppertone. |

frontaloadotmy, the dryer isn't the halo-of-heat. You folks have so much more knowledge than I on these LK's. I find it fascinating reading. I grew up in a Maytag household, so these are foreign appliances! The LK washer leaks water & oil so she bought a nice used 6 month old Kenmore pair from us. Here's a shot into the tub. I haven't done any cleaning to it. |

Jeb, that is funny about using only the cotton/linens colored cycle 99% of the time. My mom used a similar setting much of the time on our 1964 push-button Norge. Although she did use the delicate cycle too. As for the dryer having one temperature, it actually didn't It had "Soft Heat" feature. That is, the temperature started out on high and declined to lower temperatures as the load dried. Wish dryers still had this today. Although I think there is one that does, I just can't remember right now. As for me, I but the featuer set I know I"m gonna use. I use all 6 cycles on my dishwasher. If I had a front loader, I'd use all the cycle on it too. I believe in lots of sorting LOL. (Unlike my mom)

Funny that LK Combination for 1963 used almost the exact same control panel. Do you have the laundry soap cup (plastic) that fits over the scrubber? Remember this set very well, our neighbor had the model under this set that I think was a 70 or 700? It's control panel almost looked the same but it had only two turning control knobs in a lighted back drop of ovals, and of course a lighted filter indicator, did it ever go out??? |
