Shades of Malleys 12 Dials much the same, blue with white indentations. Malleys 12 vintage around 1955. Doubt if Easy was ever a brand manufactured in Australia. Check the manufacturers plate for us. Bolt down I am sure. Cannot wait to see up and running. Two separate motors, one for wash...

PHOTOS PLEASE. Most people here in the U.S. do not know that we boiled our clothes in a copper in Australia, gas electric or woodfired let alone understand the spindrier in the concrete washtub that was powered by water. Washdays were truly a chore until wringer washers and then machines like...
