Yes! This '55 Hotpoint did have the fluorescent light within the hood.
What is really odd is the previous year 1954 10LK1 with a window lid! The attached photos are poor scans/transfers from microfiche. Once COVID lifts in the next year or so I'll be able to scan the full Hotpoint automatic washer parts catalog with an archival microfilm/microfiche scanner. Ben |

According to the dealer literature, the light canopy was a separate option and was the difference between the TOL model and the next one down. |

Oh yes it is very odd and super rare but it seems in '54 Hotpoint did have a window lid on some models!
