When was my g. Grandmas machine made

Hello,

I have my great grandma's Maytag wringer washer. Can any one tell me the year it was made? Hopefully I can attach picture of serial #.

October 1960

Based on the Wringer Code system below supplied by member swestoyz (Ben) in a previous post, it looks like it dates to October of 1960.

"Starting in January of 1954, wringers used a standardized serial number scheme, with two letters after the production number. The First letter indicated the year, and the second the month. Please note - this list DIFFERS from the automatic codes of 1949 - 1965."

1955 C February
1956 E March
1957 G April
