Answer from seller..........

The model number is 550M1B. Give me your e-mail and I'll send you pictures of the controls. Also, it still has the original paint on. Your welcome.....Mark
 
paint original BUT ............

I think the paint is original but zero feedback on the seller ? and no interior pics ?
 
This washer is very similar to the one I grew up with, which was the 1954 Canadian GE that comes around as the pod occasionally (sp). Neighbors that lived above us had this washer, more BOL than ours. This one has a slide switch on the top of the console above the dial for hot or warm wash. The button on the right is the water saver. It is a 1 cycle washer with NO on/off switch. You have to pull the plug to shut it off..........really BOL. It is not a filter-flo either, but has the same 3 straight vane agitator. Ours had 2 knobs, the left one being the "fabri-flex" dial with hot, warm, and OFF settings. It did have an overflow rinse and would pause shortly after the first spin started in order for the clothes to settle down to the bottom of the tub. I always remember small articles of clothing getting caught in the pump, as all GE's were prone to do.
 
Coldspot your childhood GE is the exact one I saw in 1962 or so at friends house. And it was also a iece of literature that was in our owners manual for some reason.
 
Another answer from the seller......

Hi Everyone!
I asked for photos of the machine interiors etc .... and this is the response that I received 3 days later:
"My daughter has our digital camera. The panel is intact and is in pretty good shape. The inside is also in good shape but we dont think the washer actually still works. It was mfg in 1955."

Well one thing the seller doesn't need to be doing is plugging it in to find out!

I wonder why they're refusing to show the interior? Maybe the word "schmutzy" has something to do with it...
