Another seller who thinks they got pot of gold.
Ad states: 1929 Thor washing machine. This vintage 82+ year old item, will be a fine addition to your collection. Would serve as an eye-catching, unique piece for your home, office, or shop. As shown, I just pulled it out of a barn in PA. last week. I have not touched it. Agitator spins, porcelain tub in good shape, can roll on it's original wheels. Just clean and display as is or, won't take much to get it working and restored. See photos for item and an old ad I found on the internet. I just saw one on ebay all restoed for $3000.00. Asking $700.00 or make me a decent offer.

Nice mark-up!
People have such high hopes for a cash cow these days. It 's a little bit sad because it's hard to tell sometimes if it is a real need to keep the roof overhead and food in the belly, or greed, but not in this case, pure--almost silly--greed. "Gee, some people are asking 3000 dollars for this, and I only want 800." Brian, my mother was 85 yesterday and she's in better condition than the Thor.

"Out of a Barn in PA"doesn't that tell you something-the machine probably has mice nests in it-parts corroded or rotted-no thanks-maybe offer him $50 for it and no more.Does the motor-engine run?This is unknown.Since the condition of the motor is unknown-I am down to $30. | ||
