Here is a rough chronology of wringer agitators:
The agitator that one finds in a machine is never a particularly good indicator of the year the machine was made. These agitators were SO easy to switch out that whenever there was an issue with an agitator a serviceman would often switch out the bad one with whatever color/type he had in the truck. Aluminum through 1949 Red Bakelite 1950 - 1954ish Black Bakelite 1955 - 1964 Black Polypropylene 1965 Turquoise Polypropylene 1966 - 1982 | ||

Mine looks just like that one. I just wish Grandma didnt scour the front label and model/serial numbers off with cleanser and steel wool. I have the original black bakelike agitator, so it probably is closer to the '55 vintage. I did print off a front name plate logo from the internet, glued it on, but it still doesnt look right. But it still works like a charm and is so quiet when running.

Hi Mcwitty -
Before we can go too far we need to know what kind of machine you have, and there's a couple of machines on this thread.
Here's a comparison of all the Maytag wringers that you are likely to have. Let us know if it's an E, J, or N. Usually the serial number (to establish age of machine) is stamped into the steel, but may not be conspicuous because of rust. At the very end of production, they started putting the serial number on an aluminum foil sticker (which should be very conspicuous). Here are the usual places to look for the serial numbers on the E and N model (I don't have a picture of the J, but it should be just like the N. | ||
