Could that washer be from....

The early 80's?
The dashboard reminds me of my Imperial 70 (although this is not an Imperial) from the early 80's. Also the winged Super Surgilator.
 
 
The Whirly is likely an 80's machine.  The Double-Duty winged Surgilator debuted on 1978 model-year (LFA series).
 
The washer...

Is actually an '85 model. This control panel debuted on the LAxxxxXP models, P being for 1985.

I like that machine! WP didn't use the powder coated tops and lids anywhere near as much as Kenmore did, so it's neat to see one.

That washer appears to be in excellent condition. I remember seeing this model on the sales floor of PC Richards in the fall of 1985.

Have a good one,

Blackstone Washer in Ravena, NY

That one's been up for sale for a while - it's a wringer, probably late 40s....   I sent an email to the seller of this one a long time ago, thinking it might have been an automatic...  Can't have everything (or so I am told by hubby... LOL)
 
Who made the dryer?

Good question, It looks like one of those ceiling hung compact GE Dryers, upside down. Err, right side up now.
 
Portable Dryer

The dryer is a GE, and it's actually right-side up. These were also available as part of the WCI separate stack models and they were mounted upside down with the timer escutcheon that went on the same way. I have the one from John's warehouse, and it's very neat. I';d like to use it right-side up but the top is rough and I'd need a new timer trim piece. 240v machine usually, my machine had the 120v plug on the back for the washer as well.

Hey Larry!

That oddball GE dryer looks like it could be Canadian. I see in the top left corner of the control panel what looks like "Medallion 850" writing. Encore, Medallion, and Tallisman were the model line-ups for GE in Canada. It also looks like it is Bi-lingual writing. Who knows. But thats my take.
 
CN model...

You are probably right...Keeseville is near Plattsburgh, which is just over an hour from Montreal, so may have bought in CN and/or moved with...many a Brador's run made to Montreal when I was a college lad :-)
