Bet it has the black bakelite agitator and the chrome lint filter with a black plastic fabric softener dispenser. I'm guessing from about 1964 or so. That's when my parents bought the one we had.

It's a cutie. Wish I knew what the problem was with the timer.

For the right price, this one may be worth saving from the crusher. Guess Westy and I could make the long drive. This one will be up near Tyler, Texas.

Thanks for letting us know about it Geoff.

Venus ... I didn't realize that it was already posted. Sorry about that.

It's a beauty!! Someone said that you can still get a timer for it.

I've been asking at the local recyclers; but they don't seem "interested" in helping.

It says that the timer does not turn. They probably mean to say that it doesn't advance automatically. Might just need a new timer motor. Anyway, these are very nice machines.
Hope you can save this, Austin.

That's the exact washer that I used to do wash in for a lady from church I worked for Jr. High.
