The lady to the left seems a bit frustrated with something! Perhaps she is not satisfied with the dial of the machine!
My guess is
Perhaps a Speed Queen?
Lawrence/Maytagbear

My best guess would be Frigidaire or Westinghouse...
SQ is my guess too, but I can't be sure when I spy that badge on the machine next to the big front-loader.
Ralph, that orange machine is a coin-op dryer. Love the white / turquoise pattern of machines they did.
Here's one final hint, the transmission that's in those washers is this...

What I don't think they are...
They're not SQ's because similar coin-ops don't have that lip around the top.
GE's have the lip, but not that sort of opening. Plus this setting is too stylish and new to be using solid-tub GE's, which is what they'd have to be.
Maytag had similar lids, but no lip like that around the top.
Frigidaire did not have a lip like that on their coin-ops either.
My GUESS is Norge. but I'm still not 100%as I have limited exp. with Norge. The transmissions look like BW/Norge though.
The dryer appears to be an old Cissell, we have a bunch of those here in light yellow.

I was going to say Maytag, until the "lip" was mentioned. Now I'm not sure. Guess I failed Washer ID 101, LOL.
Are these Blackstone coin-op washers?

Blackstone
I look forward to that POD. I've never seen a coin-op Blackstone. The only Blackstone transmission that I've seen was in the 350, and it's nothing like this.
I wonder if this would have been the same transmission the Hoover full size machines used in the early 70's. The were rebadged Blackstones... Hmmmm

I guessed Blackstone because that transmission is the same as the Hoovers manufactured in Australia, and we have already worked out that they were a Blackstone design.
they were a great machine, still around here in reasonable numbers but disappearing fast. Never seen commercial versions though - top loading coin op washers here are nearly always Maytag or Speed Queen, with the very occasional Whirlpool.

SQ?
I wouldn't have guessed SQ's or Westinghouse.
1) Lip around top.
2) No lid lock bracket on open lids.
Malcolm
( I would have guessed Norge )

Very Cool!
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Great Pictures!</span>
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">I would love to have the dryer! </span>
<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">Who made the dryer? Does it also say Blackstone on it?

BLACKSTONE COMMERCIAL WASHERS
When we were on vacation in Australia in the early 1990s we used these in a coin laundry, I was surprised to see them as we didn't even see many here.
