m It's almost like a Westinghouse agitator but at the end of the ramp, the blades square off! The tub does NOT index.

With the way the clothes circulate clockwise you would almost think it was an indexing basket. Very nice washer...and from Americas oldest manufacture of washers no less. | ||

I always thought that Blackstone washers had very interesting designs. It's a shame that they didn't enjoy a very large market share. I very much enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing and thanks for saving this awesome machine. Mike | ||

Was Blackstone's market confined to the Northeast? I've never heard or seen them here in New Orleans. | ||

Commercial Blackstone 
Thanks Mulls/Tom for confirming that these were also available as coin-op machines. When I lived in Bozeman, MT there was a coin-op laundry that had a few of those machines, and I've spent years trying to remember what brand they were. When I saw Lightedcontrols' pictures the first thought that came to mind was that the Blackstone's interior looks exactly like I remembered those coin-ops in Montana. I never would have guessed that they were Blackstones, though!
