Well without help, I can only bring 2 appliances home. One should be an easy guess, but the other might take some pondering.

GE/Hotpoint on the left, electric version. Kenmore on the right, also electric.

Thanks, Jimmy

I couldn't figure out who made the one on the right in this pic.

1960 Kenmore Dryer

I have a washer that is one step up, but a close match just the same.

JC Penney Clothes Dryer.....

"TrainGuy":

I can tell the year of this dryer.

This dryer is a 1973 Model. I am not off base, am I???

REALLY neat dryers Rich!

I love the Kenmore - it appears to be a 1960 model, but it sure looks like a first cousin to the 1961 70 series we had. It's interesting to note the evolution of the 1960 models to the 1961s, then to 1962. Styling seemed to change quite a lot back then each year like cars changed each fall.

Ironic that I was talking to a club member just earlier this evening about the big rear pulleys on the backs of early dryers.....

I wish you great luck with them!

JCPenney Dryer

Was the JCP dryer still made by GE at that time?

It looks kind of like a GE but I can't really tell.

Nice finds. Congrats.

The dryer was probably made by Hotpoint

Nice JCP dryer - I always liked that panel design but saw very few of them. I would guess mid-70's? I thought the JCP appliances were very interesting but held them in some disdain because they weren't ever in the catalogs!

That dryer was made in the Hotpoint factory - where all those big-drum models were made.

The 1960 Kenmore looks mint!

I picked up a JCP dryer this weekend. The console is different than your's, I'll have to get a picture.
