The control panel looks like an Apex but the tub and agitator remind me of a Thor. Did you notice it rinses with hot water? | ||

Pre-Beam Marquette
Apex made for several brands, Wardaway (Mont. Wards), Zenith, Universal, etc. They had an agitator version as well but still used the Fiberglas spin tub with the pockets that held water for balancing. Have never seen ads for a bouncing basket washer other than for Universal. After Apex closed it's doors in 57-58, Marquette turned to Beam (Franklin) for it's laundry appliances, touting the fluid drive and other Beam features.

 Interesting that Apex closed in 57-58... Not to hijack the thread but in my search for information about the Beatty/Dominion washers, I noticed that for the 1958 model year there were parts lists for Dominion/Zenith washers. Can't help but wonder if Zenith partnered up with a, gasp, Canadian firm instead of the other way around... | ||
