Anyone looking for a later 50s version of a Westy slant-front dryer?? This one's practically in my back yard!

Interesting Photo!
I love seller photos, because sometimes they're a peek into very individual worlds, a peek you couldn't get any other way.
The above photo has some really intriguing things going on in it: 1) It's almost certainly in a mobile home - the paneling and the lack of baseboards is the giveaway. Mobile homes don't have baseboards because they don't survive the flexing that occurs when a unit is moved very well. 2) There is an impeccably made bed next to the dryer. You have to wonder what the layout of the place is to cause this juxtaposition - or perhaps make it necessary. 3) Everything in the shot is clean to the point of OCD, giving the lie to the "trailer trash" stereotype, which is, trust me, a stereotype - many mobile home dwellers are just as house-proud, if not more so, than people living in stick-built houses. I'd love to go and look at this dryer, just to satisfy my curiosity about the house and the sort of person who lives in it! | ||

Machine looks like it's been well taken care of for its age. Maybe even currently in use since they have it sitting next to a washer. | ||

Hmmm....
Thanks for the correction. I keep forgetting this is Canada we're talking about here, and that house trim may vary somewhat from the American.
Using that very narrow base trim instead of a full baseboard (U.K. skirting board) usually is seen only in mobile homes here in the States. It's still a very interesting photo because of the immaculate bed next to the dryer! | ||
