 The washer reminds me of the Penncrest products, built by Hotpoint. In the early years of the transition from Taylor Street to Appliance Park, the Hotpoint washers used this side-opening lid. By about 1973 they were using the standard GE lid. Very cool washer!
On the US products, the ID badge/plate was located on the left side, bottom, at the front.

 Welcome fellow Canadian!! Beaumark became the Bay's 'house brand' in 1979 when Simpsons and the Bay merged - the machines were built by Camco, the Candian licenscee for GE. They built Canadian Hotpoint, McClary, and Moffat appliances as well as for two major store brands - Viking (Eaton's) and Beaumark (Simpson's & The Bay).
I remember seeing lots of these Beaumark washers - the styling didn't really change much from the early to mid 1980s; your washer is from that era for sure. | ||

washer is from the 90's...last of the mill before the complete redesign....
you can tell that by the extension cap on the agitator, this is an ExLarge capacity machine, using a Large capacity transmission and agitator for all machines at that time, one size for both, cap added to increase size......at least thats what GE did here in the states still a cool machine none the less.... note too, this agitator is held down with a bolt in the center.....it will not simply pull off... | ||
