We have the exact same OM Oven and Stove as the Draper's had on the set of Mad Men. It was a real kick to see it when we were watching the show. Had to TiVo back and pause it a few times. It came with our 1956 ranch house. The previous owner left it as is, in original shape, from the hanging...

Ah. Now it makes sense. I ignored the 110 thinking it was the voltage rating. Thanks Akronman - I'm going with 1965 - Now if i can convince my wife to let me keep them somewhere... Thanks again everyone! -j

@akronman - That was my first thought too. then I read that the first three digits of the sears/kenmore were the manufactures code (651 would have been manufactured by speed queen).. 650? I can't find who that number refers to. Maybe it is the year. The design fits a low end mid 60's Thanks...

Took a look and I don't see a lint trap on the dryer at all. but the one on the washer looks brand new. I got these from a friend who inherited them a couple of years back but now in the new house (1956 - new to us), I've got nowhere to store them.

@appnut - they are in pretty nice condition considering the age. Haven't tested the dryer because I lack a three pronge in this house. The wash fills and starts to agitate but then flips the breaker so I'm assuming the motor needs rebuilding.

That's my guess too. I'm going to list these on craigs list for cheap. Was going to restore these (even though they're bottom of the line - just wash and dry type) but I've got too many projects. Just trying to find out a little more info on them.

Kenmore 400 washer and dryer model 6504400/6508400. Any ideas on the year these were made? Thanks for the help! -Jeff
