Here's a post-war (probably circa 1946) General Electric wringer washer for sale on eBay classifieds. Looks to be in nice shape - although, $300 is a little steep, I think.

Pumps in the 1930s
Hi Stan,
I know the Maytag Model A and 30 were offered with pumps...I posted an earlier link showing a Model 30 with pump. Prior to the '30s, I'm not sure if they were offered by any manufacturer. Anybody else know? This G.E. model looks like it did/does have a pump - I've included another photo from the auction that shows a slot where the pump lever should be.

HI Brad
A hose with a furled down neck is always a dead ringer for a no-pump model, and three hundred dollars is a lot for a pump-less machine.
Not sure what that switch is for in the last GE pic, but the hose is the classic no gooseneck, indicating no pump. Of course, I could be wrong, but haven't seen the classic factory hose like that on a machine with a pump, and there's often an exception. | ||

Thanks for the clarification, Mike!
Hey Mike...thanks for noticing that. I didn't realize that type of hose end was for a gravity-drain machine only, but it makes sense. Otherwise, the water would go straight up like a fountain!
I guess that switch was just the power on/off switch, similar to my 1948 Kenmore. On that subject, the switch on mine was removed, so if anybody knows of a source for a replacement, please let me know! | ||

Wringer washers - and memories...
Hey Tom...nice to have your comments on this post. I'm always interested in the fond memories that wringer washers sometimes bring to the surface. A lot of us members have similar, heart-warming memories of times spent with a relative (often a grandmother) while doing the wash in an old wringer washer!
