Some of you here may remember me asking for info on my Dixie Queen washer built by Dexter some time ago and noone knew anything. Well, I was doing some more searching last week and discovered that a very popular department store chain in Florida called Maas Bros. Had a contract with Dexter to build them washers under the Dixie Queen name to sell at all their stores. Maas Bros. went out of business in 1991,but there is still a lot of info. online about them. Here is a pic of the washer.

When I look at the opening for the wringer, I can't help being reminded of a sock monkey.

In case anyone is interested, Maas is pronounced Moss.

I lived in Tampa for 18 years, Maas Brothers was THE department store to shop at. Of course they got caught up in the Federated consolodaiton and eventtually became Burdines then Macys

Dixie Queen wringer washer

That's a fine-lookin' wringer washer! Love the rounded ridges on the tub. Looks like an aluminum agitator - could you post a pic of the interior?

Regards...Brad
