Does any member have a clothes sprinkler modeled after Frigidaire's 3 ring agitator? It was made of grey plastic with the red circulator ring, the yellow lint chaser ring and the turquoise cover having pin holes to allow water to drip through. I suspect this was a promotional item around 1958.

You mean this one? A neighbor had a '58 pair and the sprinkler came with it. I borrowed it permanently and made my own Frigi Homemaker washer with an ice cream pail. Lost track of it at some point. This photo courtesy of Google.

We had one of those when I was a kid. My mom got it from her friend Mary Elizabeth, whose husband worked at a Frigidaire dealer. She threw it out sometime in the late 70's as it had been dropped several times, and chunks were broken out of it.

Thanks for the picture!

If I am not mistaken, there were also sprinklers bottles that were modeled after the later jet action agitators too? Having a medium dark blue body and a yellow sprinkler cap.
