Canadian 70s/80s Kenmore and possible GE spotted in the wild

[bradfordwhite]

Not sure the age on these but estimate late 70s into 80s.

Tucked neatly in a perfectly maintained basement of a ranch house which is complete with retro paneling.

Looks like a JC Penney's.

That washer is Camco GE built and I remember seeing this washer model at The Bay in Toronto and it should have the Beaumark brand name. These washers had a white washbasket and spiral agitator and if I recall correctly had the Hotpoint "RimFlo" lint filter as well. The loading door opened to the side. This washer is fully featured with options , speeds and water temps. That dryer is Whirlpool/ Inglis built. It does look to have the Kenmore name but cant zoom into it enough but to me it looks like Kenmore Sears Canada.

Camco

Yes, those Hotpoint and JCPenny washer tops of the 70s, carried into the 80s and combined with the oversized chrome console trim that GE used in the 80s, and rotary knobs used on the selector switches for Hotpoints.

Thank-you for that. Didn't know GE had a Camco Canadian division back then.

The dryer should be right around the early 80s. 

 

I cant nail down which brand that washer is, it is a Camco machine, but I cant tell if its Hotpoint or Moffat. It is a late 80s machine. The early and mid 80s machines had a lot more brown, red, orange, and faux wood paneling.

The washer could be a Beaumark washer...looks similar to the one in this commercial. See link to Youtube.
Made by Camco (Canadian G.E/Hotpoint...) for The Bay and Simpson's department stores.
