still has plastic on wringer rollers, but someone really ought to tell this seller it is not from the 1930's.

Seems common enough with many old wringer washers. Say this as one who has spent hours pouring over CL and eBay listings.
My guess is the paint was not very durable and between hot water and caustic substances it just wore off. That and if persons didn't lift laundry being fed through the wringer and allowed it to "drag" up the drain board into the rollers. Think the more high end wringer washers (Blackstone, Maytag, etc...) used various baked on enamel coatings which probably were more durable. Others simply went with chrome which solves that issue. |

The paint is not worn of the wringer housing, it just looks lighter because of the lighting in the photo, even if it did wear off on these WP-KM WWs it is a plastic wringer housing that will not hurt clothing.
These WP-KM WWs are no larger in foot print than MT WWs and most other for that matter, they are a lot safer and quieter because of the full skirt however. |
