Just doin' my thing, Laundress!
Something like this comes up, everyone ooooh's, and aaaahhh's, but no one pulls the trigger. Then a few weeks later, people start moaning about no vintage appliances coming up.
I've always said, if there's a will, there's a way. I spent a long day driving to St Louis, and back to pick up a set that had been offered here. It can be done. | ||

Cool WP Washer And Dryer These were TOL, the dryer is one or two model years newer however, the washer is WPs first washer with a lighted control panel, this would be a 53-54 model [ this washer even still used a two level float to give the two different water levels.
The dryer is a 1956 model, very cool that it is GAS and it has electric ignition. | ||

I know that transportation is expensive
True, so very true.
It is difficult to get anything shifted today for under $300, and that is cheap. If possible best to go and collect one's self. That Westinghouse washer in New England is *still* up for grabs despite a price chop to only $25 last time one checked. Years ago am almost sure a deal would have been done by now. | ||

Tyler, In order to get the full benefit out of the washer you'll need one of these to go with it seeing it has the suds return feature. CLICK HERE TO GO TO polkanut's LINK | ||

When we still had an electric water heater, I used to stand on a little stool in front of the waterfall front Kenmore washer and hold the cold water hose connected to the faucet in the set tubs as we filled the machine manually with rinse water to save money. It did have a suds saver. | ||

Hi everyone! Thank you very much. I took it through her first wash last night and I still have alot to learn about vintage washers. I also have alot to learn when I start to dig into these. Thank you everyone for the advice and everything. I'm going to become a regular here :-D -Tyler | ||

I remember those well.
That's the set my Mom had when I was a kid. I was born in '54 and from the time I can remember what she had in the basement it was this set. Seeing that agitator sure brings back memories and that big button in the front to open the doors does as well. I am pretty sure hers had the Suds Saver or one of her washers did at some point because I remember that big tub of hot water waiting on the next load. | ||
