Hello,

I've been attempting to identify the brand/model of an old wringer washer someone posted pictures of online.

They also posted a logo of a shield that was attached to the washer, I am unsure if that has anything to do with the brand as I've never seen it before.

There is a timer dial made by "Mark Time" (from what I can tell) somewhere on it.

The body of the roller has a handle on it which seems to be a unique-ish design that I haven't seen before either.

From the original poster of the images this is all the info they said:

"The machine was unearthed from a dig site near a water control structure in the forest, one would assume that before the draining progress began, multitudes of garbage were dumped into the body of water that used to reside there.

The (blue logo) metal sign was attached to a switch on the left side of the top part of the washer, with the switch coming through the sign. The washer is not a standard size though, rather than having a large stand or tapered legs the washer rests on a circular base with four wheels."

The GPS co-ordinates of where the washer was dug up: 36° 4'41.42"N 80° 9'26.36"W
(You can just type that into google maps)

Anyone have any info on this?

Could it be Norge?

I think it may be General Electric but I can't seem to find one that has the handle on the top like that.

As for the shield I have no idea. As far as I can see it isn't Norge.

On the bottom right of the shield there is a letter that is either an "A" or "M", but I can't tell.
