My grandmother had the same machine,it sat in her kitchen, she seldom used it. She did most of her laundry on a wash board useing the lye soap she made. |

Brian, She live alone she would wear the same dress all week, soaked undies in the kitchen sink all day then scrubbed them on the glass wash board. She was the type that would roll her stockings down and twist them in a knot. We spent summers with her, good memories. |

Neat how stories evolve. First we only heard of automatics chucked into the corner while the wringer remained in use. Now we hear of wringers cast aside, in favor of the washboard. So interesting. Thank you. It looks like there is a pump lever visible behind the middle of the right front leg; if so, that machine is a steal--and it's the CADILLAC! Be great if someone got it! |
