Welcome Brian! Very nice finds you have there - the Kenmore washer was probably made between 1950-51-52, I have one made in 51. I think Sears carried this model for several years in different places in the lineup depending on what the TOL model was for that year, your/our model was second or third in line. Perhaps someone with a few of these year's catalogs can pinpoint it more accurately. The GE dryer looks from the late 50's or very early 60's, it's probably the value-leader model, made for those who were buying a dryer for the first time. Is it wired for 240 volts like a standard electric dryer? | ||

Those are great finds, Brian! I like the dryer; it looks really sturdy and dependable ... no nonsense!! Boy, to find a washer still functioning of that age is great. Hopefully, you won't have to do too much restoration work. Thanks for sharing ... | ||

Familiar GE Did Hotpoint have a similar styled dryer from that same era? Ours was very similar to that, from 1959, when the house was built | ||

Washing great Well just thought I would update for the folks who have checked out this thread. I hooked up the Kenmore and it worked great. I do feel fortunate to have found such a nice machine in such good shape. I guess Harry Truman was president when this machine was made!
