1957 GE washer and dryer on the auction
Well, when you add the buyers commission of 18% and the Pennsylvania state sales tax you’re already over $2500, I expect to top out at over 3000 easily.
And if somebody is shipping them you can add another thousand if they’re going very far.
It is a very rare pair, it’s the first year for the 27 inch GE dryer design. It was a good performing dryer but not a very durable one had lots of wiring problems motor start switch problems etc. it looks like somebody’s been messing with the operating thermostat from the pictures, so I doubt the thing is going to work probably won’t heat.
The washer had been in production for a few years by 1957 solid tub washers from GE were not very durable in the 50s, when they changed to the perforated basket V 12 Filter Flow machines in 1961. The machine immediately lasted about 50% longer.
They look to be in pretty good condition, however it may be restorable, but there’s certainly not good every day drivers.
I hope someone from AW will get them.

. There have been several moments where I thought dear god this the the epitome of a stranded investment, if either the shipping or the purchase go sideways.
). The guy seems like he deals in used washers and dryers informally based on his limited FB profile. He was communicative at first but stopped bothering after I started asking to many questions.
