This Hoover machine was very popular in Australia in the late 40's and early 50's. It was known as the "Hoover Junior". This machine actually became one half of the Hoover Twin tub as technology slowly advanced. Great memories. |

If my Scottish relatives are to be believed - and we are talking about folks who still in great stretches know tremendous poverty yet manage generous hearts (the miserly stereotype is false and untrue and the fact that my birthday is coming up has nothing whatsoever to do with my saying this) then one reason for this was the simple fact that large stretches of the UK were poor, poor, poor. Between a hideously ruinous War (WWI) against Germany and a horrid war against Nazi Germany and Japan a few years later lay a period of economic depression which was truly existence threatening. Just the answer I got when I asked a simliar question; your mileage may vary. |

Hey ppl Hoovers washing machine factory in Merthyr Tydfill(Wales!!) started production in 48(this one is late 50s/early 60s. Up until the late 60s when the US factory started producing washers 75% of the output went for export and so this is probably a 110v example!- sounds like it has a seized motor or faulty start capacitor tho :( Seamus |

a broken/missing belt. I have seen pictures of this machine before, and it's interesting. 32.00 is about 29.00 more than I'd be willing to spend on this particular example, however. Lawrence/Maytagbear |
