What you've got a hold of there are Westinghouse Spacemates washer and dryer set.
They pop up now and then here in the group. www.automaticwasher.org/c... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... Will set be of interest to persons? Probably. Will set be of or what is their value? No one can really say. One man's meat is another's poison. When it comes to vintage anything value or worth comes down to what persons are willing to pay. If objective is to market set in aim of selling on then more (and closer) pictures will be of use. That and description to best of one's knowledge about state of each appliance including if operational. | ||

Original Westinghouse space mats pair
Very cool find these are probably around 1960 give or take a couple years they were made for a number of years. This is the more deluxe feature laden version of this machine.
A great pair for looks and for a collector not a great pair if you expect to use them every day as your washer and dryer, This early version of the space mates was inferior to what Westinghouse brought out in 1964 when they increased the size of them, the durability of them the repairability of them, etc.. The biggest problem that would keep this pair from being used is the washer door boot is prone to leaks they’re no longer available and since the water fills up onto the window a couple inches it’s got to not leak to use the machine. What are you going to do with these? Are you trying to sell them or are you trying to use them , John | ||

Like trying to move a safe---------- Just be prepared, the Westinghouse stack set are surprisingly heavy. The Frigidaire units are back-breakers as well. Better have plenty of help! People like to use these vintage machines as storage cabinets. | ||

I think the items in reply #3 are much older than the '50s-more early 1930s i'd say | ||

Big picture man who is going to save the stuff from the dump after we are done with it... Who is going to save us from consumerism... At the time those machines were new I wonder how long it was expected we would keep them? | ||
