Pretty funny that the guy thought the machine was made then, in 1877 and for 1500 dollars. What in the bjesus is he smokin'?
Were washers even electric in 1877? Or still hand-cranked. Agree with Tim--made in the early 40's. It is a versatile, complete little bugger though. The whole basket goes back and forth to wash, next you lower the gravity drain hose to empty the tub, then flip the single switch down to spin. A lot of bang for the buck...ummm...like $20 maybe or $50 if you can spare it, but 1500. What a train wreck ! I really sizzle with delight at this kind of no-one-will-ever-buy-it greed. Thanks Yogi, for a really good evening chuckle. (You may have to lift the tub up a bit to engage the spin. I forget.) |

Pictures of the machine are lousy-you really can't see its condition-come to think of it the swap shop in Grimesland out here has one of those-will ask what they want for it-doubt it would be $1500.also remember they DID NOT have electric motors and electricity in 1877! |
