Martin Luther King at home

After more than a few years, I still cannot tell what machine that is in the kitchen. Looks kinda like the late 50s Kelvinator that sometimes shows up in the Pict of the Day...

Good picture - thanks for the timely stumper!

Easy Golden Regent 1960

 

See the dial on the left side of the panel on pedestals?  Looks like this machine.  Operating instructions are in the library of ephemera (link to this machine).

 

Such a cool washer, I wonder if the Kings had the dryer?

Thank *you*

You cleared up something I'd been pondering for 15 years.
