John, they look outstanding and amazing. That dryer drum, I've never seen anything that good in a westy. Didn't know it had a fabric softyner dispenser. would love more detailed examples of the dryer and the control. I know one knob controls the time/auto dry timeline. The other knob controls temp settings ith corresponding flip of the various timeline settings/scale. Kind of disappointed the dryer didn't have all pushbuttons like the washer though.

What an amazing set!
Those give me the urge to put on a matching Rosewood colored shirtwaist dress, grab up my wicker laundry basket and get started on the week's wash. Wouldn't get another blooming thing accomplished because I'd be too busy sitting in front of these beauties looking at the design. Congrats John!

You're going to have to build a pedestal in the museum for these! They just shimmer, congrats guys!
WOW John, CONGRATS!!! They look to be in truly AMAZING condition!
Have you tested them to see if they work? Or is a teardown inspection due?
More photos of the washer please?
I agree with Greg, pedestals are in order!
Awesome John! Again, congrats!

Boy howdy, that is one gorgeous laundry pair---and in such good shape! The consoles are wonderful. Congrats on your acquisition and may you have many hours of carefree tumble-splashy wash action.

John, those are beautiful!!!!
I've seen them ONLY in pictures. Congratulations on your find. I hope they work as good as they look. Can't wait to see them up close and personal . . . in fact, can't wait to see your whole warehouse up close and personal.
Thanks for posting. They're truly a work of art.
I'm wondering if this slant front dryer works like the older WH slant fronts. I did not see the vent just inside the dryer door that blows in the hot air.
