Is this a 1960?
Amazing that the bleach storage/dispensing system has not caused the cabinet to rust out. It must not have been used.

First Perforated basket Ge Filter Flow washer top TOL
Should be about a 1961 GE washer it’s a nice shape for its age obviously sat for about the last 50 years without being used.
Has a GE factory rebuilt transmission in it although long ago.
We had the exact same machine not sure where it went might’ve gone to Jon Charles in Boston ?
Be a fun machine for a GE fan probably could get it much cheaper than they’re asking.

My connections in Ohio have been informed.... LOL
Definitely 1961. We have at least one member who swoons over this model! I can't access the listing, but it looks like it's in fabulous shape!

Nice find! Go get it Paul. It’s been a long time since a GE of this vintage popped up for sale and in good condition as well. Looks like the original metal pump. This machine must’ve sat unused for many years as mentioned.
1961 GE 1WA1050V
Dan - you took the words out of my mouth, LOL.
Yet another example that this stuff is still out there. Ohio/Michigan seems to have delivered on the rare stuff in the last year or so. To Melvin's point, it's amazing that the original pot metal pump is still on the machine. Seeing the original blue Filter Flo pan is also a pleasant surprise.

Pics cropped and tweaked a bit for slightly better quality to fit AW size restrictions.
Pretty in pink

Beautiful machine!
I wasn't surprised to read that it's a TOL model as it appears to be highly automated.
I hope somebody nabs this one. The matching dryer must be out there somewhere.

1961, my favorite vintage
This does look to be in great condition. I'm very tempted to initiate a bidding war with my worthy opponent... this is a fabulous machine that I've coveted for a long time but I'm conflicted given that I have to get rid of many machines with a house renovation ahead of me.
I have the 1960 version of this "Piano Key" TOL which has the notorious Bleach Dispenser, but, even better, it has the old automatic RINSE dispenser included with the 58, 59 and 60 TOL's. I will never understand GE's thinking from back then: as nifty as that bleach dispenser looks on paper, the rinse dispenser on the 1960 T model is far more useful and not destructive to the appliance. Why they discontinued it as they introduced the V-12's doesn't make a lot of sense. I know GE eventually offered an activator-mounted softener dispenser for the later perf-tub models that didn't need to stop in the middle of the first spin, but I don't think it showed up until the mid Sixties.

Is this model still have a solid tub? And does it have the mini basket?

Pete, it's the first year of the perf-tub GE Filter-Flo, but the mini-basket only came along in 1963, I believe.
