    What is the longest-serving vintage washer in YOUR collection?

    My set is 60 years old! I still use a Kenmore set almost every day! Tol set from 1955.My clothes are still clean and the washer still clunks along,the dryer on med will dry a load in 50min! Its like an old car if you use it you have less trouble with it.Sort of like men!!!!
