Here is the complete picture from the ad.

Yup, I still say its from the 1960 model year.

Wrong panel style for 60 unless it was a special "match-all" model...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Yes and the base of the machine is different as well, so I agree then it's not '60.

Maybe it is a '58 model then, the '59 model had the same controls but reversed according to the catalog.

Thanks a million for posting....

....the pic of the 60 Sears line up Greg. It's a treat to see my 60 featured below the LK model.

I'm leaning on 58 more and more... I'm surprised nobody has the '60 catalog, I've looked for them on ebay but they go for a fortune. I have 59 and 63 from that period. It's not a 63 ;-) Anyone have a 58?

The little control knob looks very '58ish to me.

 

[Dick_S.]

Yes and to me also Gyrafoam.

Dryer

My grandmother had a Kenmore Dryer, she bought new in 1959. It looked a bit like the one in the picture, but the Timer was on the right, no mistake. It had regular cycle with maximum of 50 minutes and wash-n-wear with 40 minutes, last 10 were cool down. The temperature selector was a small gold knob on the left, with 5 heat selections.

YAY!! Thanks for posting the pics of the '60 lineup, Greg. There's the Model 80 my parents had from 1960-1984. It was still working when I moved home after my parents passed. I was so sick of using the machine I'd grown up with that I replaced it with a new Whirlpool.

Wish I'd had the AW gang to talk some sense into me, LOL! Of course, I got rid of a '59 LK foundling (never used!!) when I moved, so I made the same mistake twice...

The control panels on the 50 and 60 series models looks somewhat similar to the control panels of the 58 unimatics.
