1960s
Those machines look great-- some of the Maytag Experts on here can tell you, but they look like models from the early 1960s. If you give them the Model and Serial Numbers, they might can tell you the month and year they were made. I'm sorry I don't know

The dryer is absolute top of the line. The washer might be one notch down since it has a dial instead of a single bank of buttons that would match the dryer's console.
The washer is an A702 and the dryer is a DG750. Both are early sixties through mid sixties machines whose production would have ended with the introduction of the 06 series. The washers data plate will likely say something like CA702, with the C standing for Coppertone, assuming that this is Coppertone. If it isn't Coppertone I have no idea what this color would have been called. Are these your machines?
I think that color is called something like "Cordoba Brown." It looks like the camera has cooled down the hue some and given the machines a more cocoa tone. The actual color is much warmer.
Here's a picture of a machine RCD picked up in his travels some time ago. Much more appealing.

I am going to guess, but I think this set is from 1961, or 1962. I think the first year or so, only the dryer was available as all push button. The TOL washer still had the dial. I think Greg has this set in yellow. Beautiful vintage set you have there, BTW.
Ahhhh, Cordoba Brown.
That's a color I can never seem to remember, even though I'm sure I've heard it mentioned here several times.

This is an unusual pairing in that it is a push-button dryer combined with a timer dial washer. The TOL washer that matched this dryer exactly was the pushbutton A902. This set is from 1964 or 1965. The color was simply called called "coppertone". "Shaded coppertone" would make its appearance in 1966 with the 6 series machines.
I wonder if this is the same set from Virginia that was discussed in Shoppers Square. Here's the link.

If it isn't then this is quite a coincidence. Same rare color and same rare combination of models. What are the odds of that happening.

Congrats
He did buy the ones in VA. I can't imagine too many sets like that around still. It's from 1964-1965. Maytag didn't introduce the a702 until '64 and continued it until the end of that style of controls.

Does the lone knob atop the console mean this is a suds-saver model, or does it control rinse temperature?
30 hours roundtrip from florida to va...crazy inwas told
30 hours in the truck roundtrip from florida to richmond va to get this set. Crazy in love with retro vintage appliances. If i need an intervention, automaticwasher.org may not be the place. Thanks for the info from everybody. I am brand new at collecting these treasures of the past.

My parents bought a set identical to this in 1963. The knob on the top was for the rinse temperature. You could set it to automatic, which was thermostatically controlled, or set it to cold.
Nice set! Some aren't big on the early Maytag coppertone, but I myself LOVE it. Enjoy your beauties!

these are definitely from the year...
Beautiful!!! My moms kitchen had all the appliances in it this color. Built in 1963, the year i was born.I'm not big on the shaded coppertone but I do like the solid a lot. It's times like these that I sometimes wish I was a man. I kills me to have to pass on all these beauties because I can't hoist them into my minivan or trailer. It is humiliating to have to grovel and beg permission from my husband or dad. I'm missing out on a sweet 50's Tappan right now :'( Enjoy these! You really earned it.

My Mom's
Was similar to the washer but in white. Probably a model line down as it didn't have a lighted control panel and no rinse temp control on the top. But it did have the suds saver. There were 2 additional buttons on the panel. "SAVE SUDS" and "DRAIN SUDS" Mom bought hers in March 1965.

Pretty Pair Of Maytags
I bought the same pair from Todd in Pennsylvania a few years ago and combined a A900 washer to have a matched all push-button set in brown.
I will have to look for the restored pictures of our pair, get in touch if you need any parts for these as I still have a lot of spare parts.
