Reasonable starting price.
ALL RIGHT! ALL YOU MEMBERS WHO COMPLAIN, MOAN, AND LAMENT ABOUT WANTING VINTAGE WASHERS. AND NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THEM! And you know who you are!
Probably won't find a similar machine for a similar price. There it is, go get it!

Goatfarmer, keeping it all real, and bringing it home! Hahaha!
Would love this set but have no room so aren't even giving the idea a sustained thought. However am watching with keen interest as am sure this is going to get interesting.
Now you boys behave yourselves, and play nice.

I have to say that items have been offered for free from Belchville. I know that transportation is expensive so I can sympathize with those who cannot swing it, but I have also seen cooperative efforts among members of the club where those who are able have driven an appliance a few hours to meet up with someone else who was willing to do some hauling. There are people here who would help and have helped if asked.

Just doin' my thing, Laundress!
Something like this comes up, everyone ooooh's, and aaaahhh's, but no one pulls the trigger. Then a few weeks later, people start moaning about no vintage appliances coming up.
I've always said, if there's a will, there's a way. I spent a long day driving to St Louis, and back to pick up a set that had been offered here. It can be done.

This set was used in "A word to the wives" (1955)
Cool WP Washer And Dryer
These were TOL, the dryer is one or two model years newer however, the washer is WPs first washer with a lighted control panel, this would be a 53-54 model [ this washer even still used a two level float to give the two different water levels.
The dryer is a 1956 model, very cool that it is GAS and it has electric ignition.

True, so very true.
It is difficult to get anything shifted today for under $300, and that is cheap. If possible best to go and collect one's self.
That Westinghouse washer in New England is *still* up for grabs despite a price chop to only $25 last time one checked. Years ago am almost sure a deal would have been done by now.

If I was able to move that Westinghouse washer I would have grabbed it. I don't mind some driving, but I am pretty useless and moving and loading.
If anyone wants a turquoise DE750 Maytag dryer, you better contact me soon. It's in the driveway and soon will be a Kia.
In regards to shipping, I have found it's often much less to let a shipper bring you the item than drive both ways.

Fair pricing for the vintage and condition.
Hope someone here gets them.
For the archives...
Very Pretty!
... since we won't what they were AFTER the auction ends!

Laundress, how do you find these? Amazing…..
She is just looking everywhere!
Hello everyone
I purchased the washer, and the dryer as well. Turns out they were about 35 minutes from my house. These will be my first vintage set and I honestly cannot wait to get them all cleaned up and restored as well. They are in pretty good shape with minimal rust. They are definitely heavy, but very well built. They sure don't make them like they used to. I have a collection of vintage vacuums, but I love anything old. I think I have the major appliance bug now!
