Easy wasn't alone in producing twin tub/spin dryer washers.
General Electric and others also had offerings pre-WWII. Easy was one of few who kept things going, most others either abandoned semi for fully automatic washers, went out of business, etc. Somewhere on that washer must be stamping with a clue if not name of manufacturer. | ||

It *might* be an early Easy Spindrier, model "R"
www.automaticwasher.org/c... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/... "This twin tub model, named the 'Easy', was made throughout the 1920s and 1930s, but was originally patented in 1912. It was the basis of the later standard twin-tub washing machine, and at the time represented a major advance in washing-machine design. The machine is made from enamelled metal and stainless steel, and features two tubs set in a triangular frame. It has rinse and spin dry options, with settings marked 'blue', 'suds' and 'rinse'. The larger tub is the agitator tub and the smaller tub acted to rinse and spin the clothes. The washing machine stands 98.2 cm high, is 104.4 cm in length and 62.0 cm wide. The Syracuse 'Easy' featured vacuum-cup technology, which helped force soapy water through clothes." collections.museumsvictoria.com.... | ||

it apears that it isnt a model R as theres no lip over that goes into the wash bowl plus the agitator is more modern but it kinda looks like an easy machine of some sort | ||

Quite honestly they should be paying you to take that clapped out (no offence) heap away.
They've got no shame some people. In present condition that washer is neither use nor ornament. You've got possible scrap value and that's all really. Don't know if Landers, Frary, and Clark actually built these washers, or where they sourced from someone else. If latter you may be able to find parts by broadening search to include any possible "cousins". | ||

Oh damn If I end up choosing to get that machine, I definitely know what colour to paint it up now, although probably originally it was kind of more of a copper colour when it was made | ||

Shame ocean liners are no longer preferred method of travel. Back in day liners gave passengers quite generous baggage allowances. One could ship entire households (and people did) for comparatively little money.
This goes long way in explaining how so many European made major appliances of certain vintage end up miles from where originally sold. That and or were never sold outside of local market. Today best one can hope for is military, government or private employer paying for an international move. Things are loaded into crates, then either sent by air or less likely ship. It is still possible to send large things by ship, but it's time consuming and complicated process. More so if sending less than crate load worth of items. There are services in most countries that still do shipping by sea. It likely won't be cheap nor quick, but they will handle something like one or two major appliances. | ||

Pure ocean liners no do not exist any longer IIRC. But Cunard's "Queen Elizabeth" does make trans Atlantic crossings on a regular schedule during warmer times of year when that ocean is calm. Much of her time otherwise is spent doing various cruises, as such ship is built more towards that end of things.
