1960's Lady Kenmore set NIB

[launderess]

You Gotta Love Husbands *LOL*

Woman buys a new washer and dryer, hubby won't hook them up to teach her a lesson. Nevermind they sat sitting in the basment bought and paid for gathering dust for years, her indoors must learn who wears the pants in the family.

Great story and wish you the best with the sale/auction. Someone will surely nab this set and give it the loving use they deserve.

(Who has her own tool box and can hook up appliances quite well thank you very much. If not has own gold Amex and can call in someone who can. As for those pants, after the machines are hooked up HE can wash them in the wringer and hang them on the line!)*LOL*

that electronic sensor strip you see in that turquoise Lady K dryer, is actually 1 of 3 sets of sensor strips in the dryer drum. very effective electronic sensors.

LK dryer newer than '67

We had '67 LK dryer just like the white pictured.Except it had the 3 black sensors.The one pictured has the 1 rear wall mounted,makin' me think it's newer than '67.?????

 

[powerfin64]

newer than 67..

the white Lady K pictured is a 66. it most likely has the electronic sensors on the drum as the turquoise 65 lady K dryer does.

I've emailed Phil...

and am VERY interested in the Dryer b/c it is MINT and also LIGHTED controls . I would keep the 'Sears Best!' tag on it as it adds to the charm, don't you think? -Robert

Wow! Pictures And Videos.

This wins my vote for the Thread of 2007.

Gorgeous Kenmores. My neighbor across the street had a dryer that just about matched that washer, except hers may have been a model 70. It had the small size hamper door.

The dryer looks familliar. It was that LK dryer that was in the Keaton's back vestibule on the comedy series Family Ties (Seasons 2-end of show).

Hopefully somebody snatches them up quick, and puts them to use!

Good Luck,
James

Any Ideas

So, as I read on and on, it's obvious, you are all experts on these items....so, my question to you, how much are these worth?????

In my personal opinion, they're worth what you listed them for (perhaps a bit less), but I find it odd that they're not getting any bids. Someone's who lives in or near the Northeast is bound to want and have room for a never-used 60's Kenmore set...

Message to Phil...

Phil - I sent you an eBay email last night asking if you would sell only the Dryer. I realize you've listed them as a set but do not have room for both the Washer and the Dryer- thus my question. As Westy mentioned they are collectible but imho wouldn't expect to get say like $1000 for them (it could happen, depends on the buyer, won't be me though). Shipping will be expensive, probably $400+ each (I've shipped an appliance using Creighters & Freighters).
If you would rather wait for someone to buy them as a set I understand, so am looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Robert

 

[jons1077]

They aren't horribly far from me and I wouldn't have any problem buying them. I would just need a place to store them. pondering...

Isn't it Overloaded?

Robert,
I thought the load you were watching in Ross' Thor was too much for the old fella, but now, to see a picture from your childhood, it appears the base line from which to determine "overloaded" may be a learned trait. Your mom wasn't Roberta, was she? Perhaps Bobload is not gender specific.

[jons1077]

did someone in the club bid?

 

[westytoploader]

Yes, and I have to wonder if this is their first Kenmore pair? If it is, what a pair to start with! Good luck!

 

[Unimatic1140]

Silly Boyz, I just took the picture, Mom loaded the washer. Since it was my first time ever taking a picture I'm sure I was more concerned with the camera than the washer. How fitting that my very first picture was of a wash load. Don't even ask me what picture #4 was.
