Estate Sale Find! A 1974 Lady Kenmore Washer/Dryer Set!

Wonderful find. They are almost new!! They should give you many, many years of trouble free washing. I was surprised it had the penta swirl agitator. I thought it probably had the vari flex one, the one that was adjustable. Thought penta swirl came out in 1975, but am mistaken. My grandmother had a Sears washer with a penta swirl and though I thought it was boring, it did an excellent job as long as it wasn’t overloaded. If I recall correctly, it was gentle on fabrics also, but that’s been many, many years ago.

Congratulations.

Coppertone would not ring my bell. Um,except in this case,OMG,those machines are beautiful! The wood garage doors look good with the coppertone.

Hope they operate well and you enjoy the "brown" out of them!! Wash on.
 
Top 5 find of 2021, so far, with receipts!

Congrats, Doug! It's amazing what you've been able to find in Chicago, and this set is of no exception. They look minty fresh, just off the delivery dock of the local Sears warehouse. I hope they require little to get back into tip top shape.

Is it just me, or does the laundry room of the Toll house look oddly similar to the laundry room of another set you found in the last few years? Maybe the solid tub Frigidaire set?

Hi Doug , wow , didn't you hit the jackpot, what a fantastic pair to find, glad you took time to ask the question where they for sale .

For me the story of how they came to be is as important as the washer finds themselves , Thanks for sharing and like others here am looking forward to seeing more pics and videos .

Cheers, Mike
 
Well you really scored big—Sears being based in Chicago those machines didn’t have to travel far...

And even the laundry room they’re in says vintage...

And I think the Copper tone that they’re in is just the perfect color for them, as is the mint condition you’re lucky to get them in, getting me ready to root for them being ready to use...

Beautiful!

Wow Doug...what a great score!
I'll just repeat what others have said. I hope you get them up and running without any major issues.
And, please make videos!!

Congratulations,
Barry
 
Awesome score!

Found more than my share of deals at Estate sales.

Although at times they can be depressing because often someone died or went into a nursing home and strangers come in and rummage through all their belongings.
 
A true time capsule....

Excellent condition for a 47 year old set!!! Looks like you time traveled back to 1974 and bought them from Sears Roebuck and Co. yourself!
Remember “Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back!”
Best of luck they are beautiful.

Coppertone is the perfect color for this set. Goes well with the woodgrain console. Beautiful condition, even! The vintage washer Gods were certainly looking over your shoulder for this wonderful matching set.

Congratulations!!

We'd love to see video of the Lady K when everything is up and running.
