Id take one of everything brand new.

I wonder who built their steel cabinets i have seen some of them and they are every bit the equal of any other steel cabinet of the time.
 
Hotpoint washer and dryer

When we moved into our new home which my Father constructed in '58, my Mother wanted a new washer/dryer set in the then fashionable pink hue.

If I remember correctly the Hotpoint set we owned was just a few years old, of course they were white, my Dad found no reason to scrap them because of their color.

Along came my Uncle (dad's brother),he was a body/fender man, he repainted both appliances in some sort of pink, it may had been a DeSoto color...

Suddenly, the plain-Jane Hotpoint's were in vogue and worthy of the new laundry room!
 
I'm assuming the dryer depicted in the utility room sketches was a Hamilton and not GE or Hotpoint, although that dryer door with the windowed port looks familiar.
 
Highpoint and General Electric appliances 1949

There was definitely some shared production and design in this time. Refrigerators and stoves were quite similar, for example as were garbage disposals.

Washers and dryers were very different, actually the first hot point and GE dryers were both made by Hamilton so they were pretty similar. Just different styling cues.

Hot point and general electric appliances continued to have their differences until the early 70s when they became virtually the same thing in most cases.
