WOW! The DW and oven look unused.
Nice Find!
Almost frozen in time. The seller claims that he's seen the refrigerator alone go for $5k. Hmmm... wonder just where he saw that?

He's probably seen it asking 5K but going nowhere
By my reading
he is actually looking for $1000 for the set

Damn.
I would have given them their price and shipped all of those appliances East had that Pull-out been just a few inches wider.

Is it just me, or is there no gasket on that fridge door?

Ralph, is it possible there is part of the door flange we're not seeing, due to the angle of the photo, and that is where the gaskets are mounted? I'm not that familiar with these refrigerators to know for sure how they are built. We're not really seeing the entire inner side of the door.
What I think is fascinating about these photos is that it is obvious that the cabinets were updated at some point, maybe in the 1980s or 1990s? Yet, they went to the trouble of keeping and reusing the old appliances. Somebody sure loved their original GE appliances.
I can't remember another time I saw a Craigslist listing like this with newer cabinets and older appliances.

OOOH! I want one of those GE Dishwashers, but just for the tub lid... Dang!
What tub lid are you talking about?
Ken - it's the upper lid (controlled by the OPEN CLOSED RUN lever) to seal the tub for washing. The lid to my 59 was lost when the former owners ripped (and I mean that literally) the cabinet out when I bought it. I had no idea it was missing 'till I got it home and found out more about the machine (from this site, no less!).
"had that Pull-out been just a few inches wider."
Had it been a few inches wider, it would not be a pullout. It would be a roll out with the garage-door opener mechanism to drive it in and out.

Oh Geez
I really didn't get enough sleep last night. No wonder the door looked so weird to me. I was looking at the interior of the fridge on the right side of the picture, thinking it was the door, and that perhaps the shot was staged. It's definitely nap time.
Even though the entire door can't be seen, I don't think there's any question that the gaskets are there, and they're probably in decent shape considering the condition of the rest of the appliances shown.

Cabinets:
Are probably the result of a "cabinet fronts" company that put new fronts on older cabinets. I can't see anyone pulling the vintage pink postformed laminate countertops off of 1960 cabinets and then re-installing them on new cabinets. In fact, I can't see the countertops being able to withstand such treatment. And where would you find an installer who still knew how to put in a kitchen sink with a Hudee ring?
But I agree, what we can see of the cabinets appears to be much later than 1960s.

Sandy is probably correct that the original cabinets have been refaced by CabinetPak or similar. One of my mom's friends had her Lyon steel cabinets done by them in the early 70's. The white cabinets became a dark walnut finish (Formica) which made the formerly cheerful kitchen dreary. Mom said I was rude to Louise when I said I liked it better before, but I was only stating the truth.
Would be interesting to find out if the frames are GE steel cabinets.
On another note, the oven placement is very poor; doorway blocked when oven is open, which is very bad planning. One of my aunts had bers like that, and I'd be surprised if no one got burned running into the open oven door.
