That is a nice standard capacity contract sales set. They are 1974 models both built in early 1980.

Wood trim

Mentioned before here in the deep and wonderful pages of aw.org: Wood trim!
It was everywhere in the 1970s appliances.l Clocks, kitchen appliances, washers, dryers, stereo and hi-fi, utensils, everything else I can't recall were lovingly treated with peel off or printed on wood trim. Consumers were being weened off the prior decades of real or veneer wood appliances? Not that I'm pushing a thread extension here, but it's funny now, to see wood trim on a washing machine. I heard manufacturers are thinking of bringing it back. Ha. Right. Not.
