Looks like it was built the 25 week of 1964. The exterior seems to be in good condition. Plugging it in and hearing a noise is not a good description of the machine as working. The person who would be interested in this washer most likely would want it to operate the way it was intended. Price wise it’s worth what someone is willing to pay and every market is different. I’m glad you saved it and hopefully someone will be interested in keeping it going. Thanks for posting here.

there are plenty of vids on Youtube of how to operate a wringer machine....
turning it on and it makes a noise = unknown or non-working condition is the proper term.... and at that point, it is really only scrap value.....in my area, that would venture around 4 to 6.00....1.50 more if you scrap the motor separately most wringers, unless fully reconditioned, only go for 25.00 to 100.00....as you have noticed on ebay, there are tons of machine listed for 200.00+, and still being listed for years..... its a buyers market....its value is only what someone is willing to pay for it..... good luck in your adventure..... |

From your photos this Kenmore Wringer looks to have been well cared for before it was put out of service and stored. The real problem for a potential buyer would be the lack of any replacement parts if for some reason it isn’t working properly.
The only way to tell it it does work is to fill it up with water and put it thru it’s paces. The wringer, tub and agitator all look to be in good condition. If it does agitate, drain, doesn’t leak and if the wringer works then you should be able to get WAY more than $25.00. There has to be someone out there that would love to acquire this Kenmore Wringer as a new toy, or better yet daily driver. When I was a teen in the 60’s the neighbor lady that was like a second mother to me had one like this and she loved it. I learned how to use a wringer washer by watching Bev do her families laundry in that Kenmore. Then I talked my Mom into getting us a new Maytag Wringer for our home. I wish you good luck in finding a new owner and home for this bit of history. Eddie |
