I've seen this set before so they've been available for a while now. The seller is asking $150 for the pair. Look closely though and there's a bit of a puzzle here. In the first photo to the right of the dryer another Westinghouse with blue knobs can be seen that clearly isn't the washer seen in photo two. Yet when I contacted the seller about this I was told there is no other machine and never was. They didn't know what I was talking about and were rather insistent on that point. Nevertheless this nonexistent machine was clearly there once. Can anyone here identify it based on what's visible in the photo?

They might have used a pic found on the Internet?
Stone basements like that are hardly a typical feature in a
Southern California home...

While your point is well taken (and generally accurate) Idyllwild is an older mountain community where many of the homes are old mountain cabins that do indeed have stone basements. I friend of mine from Eagle Rock has a cabin there that he inherited from his parents that's just one such example. Still, as you said, the photos could be from the internet. I recently found someone selling a Filter Queen model 31 on Craigslist using a photo of my machine that I'd posted on Vacuumland.

That appears to be the washer with two magnets stuck to it. They removed them for the washer portrait.

That's a nice looking set, wherever the basement is, it's pretty dry.

That's fairly early set too.

Thanks for chiming in. I hadn't even considered that possibility but now that you mentioned it it seems like the obvious answer. It looks like a nice set. I hope someone claims them before the junk man does.

I was going to guess a dryer with two magnets stuck to it.   Only because the smaller grey knob is closer to the timer dial on the full view dryer and the cut off machine next to it than it is on the washer.
