Blackstone started laundry manufacturing in 1874, as they advertised. They stopped in about 1975. My family had a TV/appliance store here in Springfield, Mass., and we sold and serviced many Blackstones. You will find quite a few members here who have Blackstones, some of which were provided by me, as I cleaned out the store.
I am not personally familiar with this model; mostly, I know about the Blackstone automatics, starting with the 250s and 350s. Not sure of the date this model was made, but I'll check to see if I have any literature on it. Feel free to email me (FGosiewski@aol); you can also check my website related to our former store.

Nice wringer, but THAT TABLE (or cabinet)! Blue cracked-ice. Took my breath away. |

These washers look the same from 1948 through about 1958, but there are small details where you can tell if they are made in the late 40s or the 50s. One detail is the blackstone decals. The ones from the 40s has red decals with white lettering, and the ones from the 50s are white decals with red lettering.also, the 1950s machines have a different wringer tension knob than the ones from the 40s. So yours is definitely 1948 or 49.As far as value, they are only worth what somebody is willing to give you for it.I hope this helps. Don
