It wouldn't surprise me one bit if there had been a matching washer and in yellow. Louisville could and did make any configuration it wanted/needed to and even in the early Sixties seemed to respond immediately to the whims of the marketers and higher-ups. I wouldn't be surprised if there hadn't been a surplus of "Sunshine Yellow" porcelain cabinets for TOL dryers that didn't sell in the previous model year. It's about at this time that Coppertone and then Avocado were introduced to the market as women grew tired of American Standard Pink, Yellow and Aqua were on the wane. I grew up with a very nice AS yellow bathroom that had a Filter-Flo pair in White. Probably could have been bought in Sunshine yellow but that would have cost my Mother another 2 bucks (yes, I know, I know, that 2 bucks would have been worth 20 bucks today).
The more I discover about GE, the more I realize that the company had a very efficient system for using up old parts and putting them out there for liquidation. It's a lesson in business. I'm sure the big manufacturers like Whirlpool and GM did the same thing. |
