Don't want to hear a single word about how difficult it is to find vintage items.

I've done my level best to trawl internet for you lot, rest is up to you.

@gregingotham

Didn't you nab a Frigidaire washer while back then went looking for matching dryer?

Yes

Hi- yes, i have almost this same exact set- but this one has one extra dial on the washer console for agitation/spin speed. and a nicer lid. Mine appears to have been BOL ....plastic lid and only normal and gentle cycles on the dial.

Great places to find used appliances

Hi laundress, you left out Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and of course, Minnesota, places that were pretty well off 50 years ago are great places to find appliances, especially where there wasn’t a lot of huge escalation in home prices and a lot of movement of people ,people tended to keep things longer stick them in the basement, etc.

That’s why a lot of the southern states like Florida, Georgia, etc. you don’t really find a lot of great stuff when there weren’t basements they just grew a lot population in the last 50 years and there wasn’t a lot of good stuff. Purchased there 50 years ago.

Must be all these old farmers out here in the Midwest!

I imagine they have a veritable treasure trove stashed away!
