I can't say how much this made my entire Holiday! I absolutely love, love, love looking at old appliances from the 70s and 80s. Wish I had a time machine to buy a Penncrest washer, JCPenney micro, some old Kenmore belt drives, a soft heat dryer, and a Kenmore WP Power Clean. Few Maytags of course. Not excluding all those small appliances. In those years the pinnacle, the crest, the peak of white goods had been reached. Character, Speed, Performance, reliability, longevity, dependability, solidness, charm, hypnotic effect, enjoyment, compliment and the user having immense gratefulness of existence in the moment, where all present in a glorious magnum opus.

Just last week I was killing some time after finding the web site that contains all (most) of the annual Christmas wishbooks. Very cool, but for Sears catalogs, that normally meant one featured washer/dryer set on the back cover.
I then went in search of the spring/summer and fall/winter catalogs to see if I could find machines that I've rescued in their original presentations. I did NOT find this page via a generic web search, and was very pleasantly surprised to see this post and find that it was basically exactly what I had been looking for. Thanks again! |

And there they are, in the Montgomery Ward Spring/Summer 1962 catalog on page 918 items “A” and “B”…my Grandma’s Signature set that got me started with this whole washer thing! I’d give my eye-teeth for that set, or at least the washer. I know a couple of you guys out there have a similar Norge model. If you’re ever ready to sell, please let me know! (And Pumper, I was mistaken on the washer model number…I always thought it was LNC-6223 but it’s actually LNC-6322 according to the catalog).
So who manufactured the front loader washers (and matching dryers) shown on the same page? |

Isn't that great feeling finding models you once knew.
Those are good looking machines. I've never seen these before. I hope they turn up for you. It's only a matter of time, I'm sure it will happen.
They resemble certain Maytags at that time but with the timer to one side.

Thank you for the responses. I love the simplicity of the controls and the machines were awesome. The washer with its loud pump and rapid ramp-up spin and of course burp-a-lator agitator. The dryer was amazing with its back-fan that literally blew clothes onto the floor if your opened the door too fast. They don’t make them like this anymore, for sure!
