Tim, 1960 was GE's "Golden Anniversary" line so there was usually some "gold" on the control panels somewhere. The dryer is probably a 1959 model (1958, 1959 and 1961 models featured a lot of blue). The silver models are an oddity and make me think that when the paint wore off, somebody removed it all to make it look newer. As far as the panels being raised or not, there appears to be little rhyme or reason except that, at the beginning, TOL models had raised panels and lower end models didn't. That changed later as CU began to criticize raised panel washers and dryers(clothes would escape behind the machines via the gap). Could you post the model numbers of that gold washer and the blue dryer?
