The first stainless steel top. Serial number 570. Prior to this date, sales were of 250s, which still continued to be sold. For the 350, $211.94 wholesale price; $369.95 retail price. For some reason, my father took a trade-in of an Easy washer, reducing the price to $258.50, with $100 down payment.

That’s $3500 in today’s money adjusted for inflation | ||

Wonder if the Easy trade-in was an automatic or a semi-automatic spinner?
I have no explanation for it, but I really enjoy seeing old artifacts like this—handwritten receipts, recipes, notes penned to kids or spouses that wound up as a bookmark.... Thanks for sharing them. This post was last edited 09/23/2020 at 16:36 | ||
