Never did see one of these washers in action -- is that a lint filter on the agitator or fabric softener dispenser? What approx vintage? 1980s? (sorry about posting just a link; I had trouble posting as pic)

franklin washer

fabric softener-these washers have recirculating pullout lint filter.looks like around late-'80s vintage, this design goes back to around the early 1970s up to around 1990 then the larger tub franklin style washers came out.Also sold as kelvinator,gibson,montgomery wards,Etc.

That washer is badged Frigidaire right under the cycle selector knob. And that is a fabric softener dispenser on the agitator. Looks like there might be a small hole in the metal right next to the front lid hinge though. With that tub being plastic and ribbed to boot it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't index. But otherwise it does have a lot of options.

Dryer says G.E. to me but can't make it out.

Seller would have a much better response if he just took the time to wipe down even the tops of the machines. And at least remove the lint out of the dryers lint screen!

It's surprising how many people expect their dirty laundry to go into their respective machines to clean and dry them to a miraculous perfection of brilliance, yet when you look inside these machines--- "BEHOLD".....it looks like these do! ;-\
