The styling looks more 40s with echoes of the '39 world's fair. Beautiful machine that does not look like it seen much use. |

That was some serious money for the time. Would equal $1,418.76 in 2012

That's when the automatic shut-off timers appeared. You can see it on the machine, and L's link confirms it. As the oldest manufacturer of laundry equipment, you have to appreciate how Blackstone the reduced danger factor in the lower height of the wringer span and how close the feed tray is to the business part of the wringer. An accident would be less likely.
Oh how we'd love to the the inside for the "3 zone" wash action.
What great shape she's in, and how full-figured, a Rubens Lady! |

or drunk or dumb. Down in the water swimming, I realized I could change the page in L's link and look for a date on the newspaper and LO, it's April 11, 1950. So I came rushing up before anyone could see how absent-minded I can be. Funny what the lake can do for your brain.

I have to access the previous page to get the date and scroll over and up. Music to my ears about the day I can drink again, not sherry but burbon. LOL, preferably in a Manhattan. Oh my aching heart. Keep hoping.
Nooknook, that agitator is wild! I've seen a few old abandonned machines with that unique agi and was fascinated by it. That style was in use way before 1950.
Could you tell us what the wash action is like? Do the clothes move top to bottom or slosh back and forth? Is the action brisk or slow?
We don't have any extant video of this agitator as far as I know. You could make Automatic Washer history, if you show us how it agitates. |
