A neighbor in an apartment had, I would swear, had the same stove and it was a Dixie. Theirs had a blacksplash with a clock. Dryer looks like a Kenmore from the door.

1961 Nearly TOL Kenmore Dryer

Ben, hit the nail on th head, this was a mostly all new machine for 1961. It was the first [ full sized ] dryer design in the US to have the drum drive accomplished by running the belt directly around the dryer drum. Maytag was the last [ 1976 ] US appliance company to use this drive system and it is a pretty safe bet to say virtually every domestic dryer in the world is built this way today.

 

This KM dryer is a good rugged machine, but unfortunately is on the slow side in drying speed and efficiency, however the gas version was very fast at drying and affordable to operate.
