Very nice. I believe this is the first air-flow dryer from frigidaire? The pull out lint screen is huge - approx the same size as the aluminum Filtrator in the ventless dryers.

1956 PULSAMATIC DRYER

I HAVE THIS EXACT DRYER. IT IS A VERY QUIET RUNNING MACHINE. IT IS THE MATCH TO THE '56 PULSAMATIC WASHER.

Ironically the dryer is located not to far from where it was built.  Nice looking '56.  This might be the MOL?  Interesting to see that it has the full porcelain cabinet.

 

I believe there was a version of the airflow dryer for the '55 Pulsamatics as well.

Like it !

It's not art deco, is it, but it reminds me of a Raymond Loewy design a little.

There was one of these in a utility room at the end of a carport at a house on the way home from school. When the door was open, I would look at it and wonder where the washer was; probably in the kitchen.

Did this have the same exposed heating elements in the upper left quadrant like the Filtrator?

Heating Element

Tom:
It did have the exposed heating element in the top left corner but it was a different type of element - Not the tube type that the Filtrator used.

Bob, Thanks. The old GE, Maytag and Hamilton electric dryers were like that, too.

That's a beautiful dryer, it's a match to the '56 Pulsamatic!

cute machine

Most '56 appliances had that "new" eye catching copper trim. My fav.
