Rich, that must explain a pattern I saw among family friends and relatives in my childhood during the 1960s, where there would be a full-featured washer but no dryer. Or, a TOL to MOL washer and a newer BOL dryer (many times a different mfg than the washer) as though they saved up for a few years. Anyone with a matched washer and dryer set typically owned A BOL set. Or, they used Sears Roebuck's easy credit terms, and had MOL units.

Yeah, that was me growing up — we had a BOL Maytag dryer and a Custom Deluxe Frigidaire washer. My grandparents had a matching Wards Signature ‘62 BOL set. I have always been a fan of having “twin” washers and dryers...even if they are BOL...my Mom didn’t seem to care if the washer and dryer didn’t match. But our machines were out in the garage so maybe that was her rationale..?
