Hinged spin cover. No faucets. Timer. Anyone want to take a stab at dating it and where it stood in the model lineup? I'm going with 1949. That it was featured in an ad suggests it was a higher model. So does the timer. But no faucets suggests a lower one. There's so much texture to the history of Easy.

This is the Easy--perhaps the last Easy--before the faucets.
This brilliant engineering concoction claims to have water entering through the bottom of the rinse cone.
This is so exciting--BUT no one has this model and no one's seen one. Just look at that thing rinse. Sweet Jesus!
Got to run and get the magnifier. I did not dream this. Thank you so much, Brad. I'll be right back. |

JUST TURN A TAP and clear rinse water rushes up thru the hollow cone into the whirling basket.
WHIRLING NEEDLE SPRAY, etc.
We all have our thing and this is mine. This contradicts all Easy doctrine. NO faucetless lidded Easies have a spray cone. This one DOES! It's nuts. I thought I dreamed all this stuff up in a lustful imaginings. But here it is. Oh God what I woouldn't give to see one of these. Imagine watching the water coming up the cone. Incredible!
Trying to figure out how they did it, while admiting it must have had issues, since this model made so brief an appearance before the faucets were added. How did the wash tub fill?--not counting manually. Did it fill through the spinner, draining into the washtub? So many questions.
Well, guys and gals, meet my Holy Grail. |

if the glass Easy you and John won on ebay were the missing link? I would be your prisoner for sure.
With all the knowledge and experience here, and the fact that this model has not been seen by anyone, makes the outlook grim, but hey, it's Automatic Washer, the place where miracles happen regularly because of the intense friendly energy. |

I've noticed in product literature over the years that the artist's rendering may not perfectly match the actual item. The pictured machine may not be identical to what the consumer ended up with (well, for sure the tub windows) so there may be more left to discover about this particular model, although spraying up from the bottom suggests faucets were not intended. |

Before Brad supplied the text I thought it was just ad hype. Remember when we were kids and found out through Darren on "Bewtiched" that ad men lie. I'll never forget that watershed moment. I thought that this was another example of the "big lie" technique.
But this can't be a fake. Theorizing that this was there first attempt at needle cone jet spray rinsing, which presented engineering problems too hard to remedy, so they had a Eureka! moment realizing that faucets were the way to go. Confident that we will get some answers in the future. So excited about this! Anybody else? |

You were so young, but can you remember anything else. In the ad you can see the red hose connected to the faucet. Do you remember where it connected to the machine and did you ever see it spin rinsing? I know it was a long time ago, but so far you are the only witness to this unique model. Any other images you can summon would be very much appreciated.
John, no extent video as far as I know. Wouldn't that be something! |
