Hey, does anyone know anything about these REALLY old Easy's? This is a beautiful machine, but how does it all work? It matches my new copper kitchen counter tops and I want it to use as the daily driver. Thoughts?

Can't duplicate the appearance by searching 'model R', but generally dates to the mid 30s. Suction cup agitator goes up and down, possibly around as well. The part not shown is the spinner.
Looks like jewelry or art, doesn't it? This is actually available? Is it said to operate? Failed parts would almost certainly have to be fabricated, quite expensive. Restored to original operation and with modern detergents this machine would work quite well. Bearing in mind it is manual, the operator pretty much has to stand there the whole time manipulating clothes, levers and hoses. | ||

They say it's operable! It DOES look like jewelry! I've been using an easy (1948 model) for the last 4 years, so i'm used to it and enjoy using it!
I think i'm going to go for it! I'll post some pics of the spinner. | ||

That's as close to new/unused or FULLY restored as possible. It GLEAMS.
Some pics handy of your 48? It would resemble grandma's from 51~53. I had to smuggle my plastic/Chinese twinny into this building that prohibits private laundry eqpt. The last one I had was a 73 Panasonic, very good machine in all regards. Offset impeller didn't knot sheets like the Chinny does. | ||

Look likes very light use I had one years ago, a real heavy beast. But those cups have me wondering, they usually were nickel plated not copper. I think the nickel my have been polished off.
Other wise the spin basket looks mint. It looks low use. The later models had a extra clutch that rotated the cups as they went up and down, the earlier ones just went up and down, I think pre-1919.
