Does anyone know this vintage brand?

Stopped washing and draining. Found belt broken, so I replaced it & it washed and drained fine through 2 cycles. Did notice that during drain there was a sort of whining noise coming from motor or pump- not sure? Then it seemed to struggle pumping and quit. Belt seems to move the pulleys ok...

I remember my Mom using Ivory Flakes for all baby laundry & delicates and the smell/feel of everything afterward was great. Ivory snow, while nice, just doesn't have the same effect.
