I remember as a little boy (abt 1963) that many automotive businesses had wringer washers to clean cloth towels.
Any chance that this is a rebadged BOL machine for a Firestone Tire shop? There could be a wringer head under the leaves. The inconspicuous "Firestone" label and inexpensive cabinetry with exposed screw heads is certainly suggestive. | ||

Firestone tire shops sold their own branded major appliances at one time. They were outsourced from other manufactures. That machine is very rare. Apparently a 1947 model.

I love looking at "illustrated" ads. They and old postcards with the linen finish, such as those published by the Curt Teich Co., have a unique charm. | ||

I see on the catalog or ad posted by Ultramatic at the bottom of the left page that the washer had a head with possibly rollers? I didn't see it nearby, I will have to go back into the bush and look around to find out. Snow is now on the ground, it will be more difficult. | ||
