I have the very first Speed Queen automatic washer, it was made in 1952! Just entered it into their contest lol. It won't be the oldest as there must be older wringer SQ out there, but hopefully they will take notice.

Nice Speed Queen Robert! Maybe there will be a prize for the oldest automatic.

To bad there isn't. I think there should be a category for automatic, it would make the whole contest more interesting

Yes there should be a category for the oldest SQ, Automatic, Dryer, WW and even the SQ DW and of corse the SQ combination, { I would probably win that one ]

I'd take a stacked unit (gas)

I'll bet there is someone at SQ that monitors this site daily, all of our entries will be tossed.  Nonetheless, here is 1954

It just says help us find the oldest Speed Queen machine. It says nothing about automatic or wringer.

I have a 50's Speed Queen wringer model but that's no where close to a winner. Lee Maxwell probably has this one in the bag.

FYI, so it seems unfortunately that Greg's prediction was correct. They are adding new entries to their website, but never bothered added my 1952 Speed Queen to their website.

Two entries depict Kenmores and one looks like a Hotpoint set.

Upper-right photo .... does anyone here think anyone currently at the SQ company has any information about SQ once offering a real combo unit?

Nope. I bet John (Combo52) could give them an earful about it though.

Oldest SQ Contest

combo52's profile picture

I am impressed that they even have a picture of a SQ combo.

 

I was thinking that I would enter our SQ combination in the contest, ours is a 1962 model.

 

SQ was the last US company to introduce a combination Washer-Dryer, it came out around 1961.

 

The SQC was the smallest US combination measuring only 25 1/2" wide, it had a decent spin speed of over 500 RPMs with a full suspension system with four springs at the top and two hydraulic shocks below. All were water condensing electric models.

Hey Rob,

I just noticed today from Speed Queen's home laundry facebook page that yours was featured on there. I wonder if you won the contest or not.
