Found almost a near-match to my long-lost (to the Valley Wildfire in 2015) Montgomery Ward Signature '74 washer! Just picked this up last weekend. Guessing vintage 1975-77. Looks fairly gently used. The guy I bought it from said it was his Mom's and it hadn't been used in years. Purrs like a kitten (and bangs like a Norge!). Now I just need to find room...for now it's relegated to the carport next to the '75ish Whirlpool set I got a few months ago. Trying to talk hubby into buying a larger home to accommodate my hobby! I'm trying to rebuild the collection I once had...

Those are fun machines and do a great job cleaning. Just like so many other machines, better enjoy them now because what we take for granted today will be gone tomorrow. Congrats on your find. | ||

Thank you all for the kind remarks. That stupid wildfire really set us back emotionally. I felt so irresponsible for the loss of my collection that I wanted to preserve for a future wash-in. So I'm finally back on board and slowly rebuilding a new collection. As Gyrafoam said, these machines are becoming so much harder to find and although this one isn't really old, it sure will be a lot of fun!
