Now here's something you don't see everyday. Oh Paul?

Probably a good thing this is in California... LOL

Did this one have the big WATER HEAT button? 

 

[turquoisedude]

Looks like it. I think it also has the 'drip dry' notation instead of the 'omit dry' on the control panel - I'll guess it a late-run '56. Now, where have I seen one like that?? LOL

W-D finish

I notice a slight difference in the color of the combo and the adjoining cabinet. Did these have a porcelain enamel finish rather than painted?

 

[turquoisedude]

No, they are painted.

Thanks for the info, Paul!

GE combination washer dryer front finish

The first years of it were painted on the front however this one might be porcelain finish, I’m not sure what year they switched but it was by the late 50s
