Jackie if it truly is a Wringer Washer like the ad you posted, those machines usually sell for $25 to $50 at estate sales. Now if it is a true 1947-1950 GE toploader, with a direct drive tranmission, it would be the third machine found left surviving and would be worth much more. Right now only two of those machines are known left to survive.
Here is what it would look like (the washer on the right with its lid open)...

The reason for the replacement activator is the original aluminum agitator was missing from the machine when I found it, since I had a brand new old stock Bakelite agitator I put that in there as it was so shiny and pretty. I had to pick a cap, turquoise or pink or black. The turquoise was by far the prettiest as it matched the logo on the front of the machine.
