These look to be late 50s or early 60s, and very TOL.

Congrats, Eddy! Those are just beautiful!
You'll have to let us know what you think of the slosh-over filtering ;-)

Cool!
There are some fascinating ads on the site (usedvictoria.com) including another Kenmore like the one Robert recently spotted. This one has a WP surgilator with a Kenmore cap.
Most cool indeed.

I'm so glad you got these! Patrick and I both bombarded you with emails because these had you written all over them! Congrats! I want to see this in person for sure!

What a beautiful set! You're a lucky man! I love the styling.
I sure hope to see it in person sometime.
In awe in Europe

Best looking Queens I've seen in a long time...
What does the "Bleach" button do?

WOW
So glad you got then Eddy. They really look to be in wonderful shape. What sort of mechanical condition are they in? Used Victoria is a great site and is part of the Used Canada network. All major Canadian cities and many larger towns have a "Used" site, so everyone keep them in mind when you are washer hunting.
Again congratulations!

Congratulations, Eddy; They're gorgeous! How does the 'conditioning center' work? Have never seen a Speed Queen with a filter like that, either. Does that mean there's no overflow rinse?
Congrats Eddy!
Congrats Eddy
They are lovely! I love the inner bowls in these early Speed Queens!
Cheers

thank you everyone!
I appreciate all your comments, this set is one of the nicest I've come across. I'll try to answer some questions...
First, I think these are 1959 as that's what on the parts manual for this washer (A28) although could be 1960. This is the first Speed Queen washer I've seen that has a PUSH to start timer knob, every other model used a PULL to start timer. The conditioning center is basically 2 plastic containers each with perforated lids (will take more pics later of this). At the appropriate time there is a dispenser solenoid which pushes these over and "dumps" if you will the bleach and softener at the right time. The knobs are there to reset these to the upright position after the cycle. Of course there is water flowing during this increment to flush these into the tub. Very cool feature. The machines both seem to be in good mechanical condition, I just tried the washer and it agitates and spins just fine. Ironically, Greg N (gansky1) had sent me the parts and repair manual for this very model 8 years ago! Thank you again for that, who knew I would ever end up with them.

Oh, I bet it's from 1959! Anything that goodlooking must be from 1959! LOL
Greg must be clairvoyant!
