So.... if that harvest gold beauty is "over 60 year" old, that makes me......roughly 75-80 when doing math with your calculator?

Washer was built 43rd week of 1999. Dryer is probably mid 70s.

And...so... you're going to stick with the idea that it's perhaps, oh...say...65 years old, somewhere in that arena?

When would these dryers have been produced? I was thinking somewhere in the era of 1970 to 1975. I’ve seen one or two before but I’m not too sure about all the details on them. This would be one of the “Match-all” dryers, correct?

yes mid 70s. It's part of a pair for the Canadian market.

That dryer appears to be the unshaded Golden Wheat color, which would place it 1977 or later. It has the early plastic door handle that was introduced on the 1972 models, but has the plastic pull out lint filter new in 1974. The Canadian models tend to be a mixture of parts from different years. Could even be from the 80's, so more like 40-45 years old.
