Recently I was browsing Ebay and found something that fought my eye. It appeared to be an agitator out of a late 50s or early 60d Frigidaire Unimatic machine, so I clicked on it. After reading the description I found it was something that Frigidaire used to advertise their Unimatic washers, and was much smaller than the actual thing. Despite not knowing if it was actually old or just something someone recreated, I decided to buy it since it was only 20 bucks with free shipping. Now that it’s here, can anyone tell me if this is truly from the 50s? There appears to be a tiny bit of yellowing on one side which leads me to believe it is, but i’m not familiar with old Frigidaire advertising to be able to say for sure or not.

Amazing Find! Looks like something I would use to make a Mini frigidaire out of a salad spinner. Cant beat the $20 price tag | ||

Yes, you fill it with water to sprinkle items before ironing. My mom got one from her friend Mary Elizabeth, whose husband was the manager of the local Frigidaire dealer. 1958 sounds about right, and we had it for several years. | ||

Welcome to my world
Have one of those Frigidaire laundry sprinklers for ages sitting on shelf.
Since one irons damp laundry dry, don't have much use for the thing. When do need to dampen something have a Japanese plant mister (all heavy stainless steel and Bakelite) that puts out a fine mist. Far better than sprinkling. Indeed laundry manuals back in day warned housewives and anyone else doing laundry about careless sprinkling. Problem is too large droplets can cause water spots that won't be erased by ironing. Especially when goods had been heavily or even moderately starched. | ||
