That is a beautiful set!!

I'll never forget, however, the similar set we had when I was very young. More top of the line, than this set. I believe it had the mini basket/mini wash option, dryer was TOL to match. And actually, the dryer is what made the set memorable to me. The machines couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 years old at the time, and I wasn't much older....getting ready for school one morning suddenly the house is filling with smoke from the direction of the laundry room. Mom and I are home alone at the time, and she starts screaming for me to call 911. I got off the phone and went looking for her, to find her in the laundry room, furiously throwing everything out of the room. Meanwhile the dryer, still running, is burning hot to the touch, jugs of detergent, and bleach sitting on top melting; fumes in the laundry room so bad you could pass out....After the firemen got there, took the machine out the back door, they open it up and flames are just everywhere.....and the smell after it was out....yikes. I'll never forget that day....or that dryer. Or all the little plastic toys that mom had taken out of my pockets over time, and sat on top of the dryer, still there, melted to the top of the machine. Lucky that machine was made well enough to contain the fire until help came!
 
Finally!

I was finally able to find the time to go visit Jimmy and pick up these fabulous machines they are as good as they look and im sure I will have lots of fun playing with them I just cant decide If I want to use them for my day to day use pair....Time will tell Thanks again Jimmy for hooking me up I will probably be dreaming about those 1-18's and maytags you showed me tonight in my dreams....Talk to you soon Tim
 
TIM, YOU SHOULD HAVE......

taken those Maytags. Jimmy's twisting my arm to take them. I am so out of room, too. But those Maytags, just like that 1-18 set and your GE set, are just too perfect to pass up.

Well guys, opportunity only knocks a few times, then time marches on! Yesterday, my brother and I just bought a new house for my Mom to move into, and Im giving her a choice of the Maytag set (with Suds Saver), the Frigidaire 1-18 set (she has never owned a Frigidaire washer yet, OR the current TOL Whirlpool DD digital read out set that she now owns, that Myra gave me a couple of years ago. Actually the house my Mom is moving into is not new, but the same house she and my Dad built back in 1950 and sold 36yrs ago! Hummm..... Maybe I should just give her back the 1956 GE WA755N that I still have of hers, her first automatic that she bought back in 1956!!!!
 
What a neat thing to do Jimmy, giving your mom a chance to relive the past. My parents first house is for sale at the moment and I would love to have it but they are dreaming at their price. Has been for sale for over a year. Oh, and I think you should just give me that 1956 GE if she doesn't want it. ;-) Mom's first washer was a 1959 GE Filter Flo. Her first dryer was a clothes line, later a beautiful 1967 Speed Queen
