Washing machine brand and year?

[rickr]

This video of a cool old house vacant since 1973 shows an early automatic, but I do not know what it is. Can anyone help? It is at 9:47 in the attached video.

Norge or Easy??  GE

 

[rickr]

I thought GE at first as well, but the lid doesn't look right for a GE. I wonder if it could be rare. It is not a WP/KM, and that is for sure!

10:04 give a fairly nice side shot.

My guess is Norge.

 

[rickr]

Just noticed a good shot of it at 9:31, as well. Too bad the photographer isn't into washers....

Norge....10:04

note the burpalator filter pan on top, with the black agitator post popping up through

Could it be a Wizard? The control panel has a squared off look about it?

This house is on a penninsula in Maryland if I remember right. It's like 8 acres it's called the Winderbourne mansion.

Was $895 or so, the last time it was listed. It was on Zillow a while back.

It's a cute house but since there is a train track next to it and commercial RE nearby, it's no longer the desirable location it was when it was built.

Road trip, Rick? We can attempt a rescue! Maybe grab the 4 speed Impala ragtop.

 

[rickr]

Rescue? Not me Kenny! But someone who lives in the area, should try to see if it is possible to save the Norge washer. The house, cars and everything else are absolute scrap.

Norge, or Wizard.

Definitely 1950’s.

Norge!

I would say this is a early 60's Norge!

 

[goatfarmer]

Lots of parts on the 65 Impala, with the 4 speed.

What is sitting next to the washer?
It looks like a GE dishwasher drawer to me.

Norge:

Would be my guess.  If that is a dryer next to it I have no clue what brand it is.

It's a Norge

The lid hinge mechanism and the agitator top gives that away, as does the top overhanging at the back by just an inch. Furthermore, the round basket opening under the lid is flat at the front. I can't give an exact date, but it was before the 1970s when Norge switched to the side opening lid.

 

[appnut]

Norge side-opening lid

Robert, that actually changed with their new 14 lb./15 lb models brought out for 1964 line.  We had the DispensoMat model in that new line.  

 

[windiachef]

That early? Other than the control panel that's difficult to see, that washer looks similar to this 1962 AW-220,

Wow! The machine in the abandon house, does look like the machine in the video posted by GSOHoover. Perhaps it is the same model/year. Interesting!
