Mine is the Spiralator used in the Easy machines.
Numbers: 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 18.
Surprise! I actually like the agitator in the '66 Blackstone BA600 automatic best (yes, I know, NOT a GE... LOL). It splashes like crazy on low water levels and I find it moves clothes around well, even with a big load.
Spiral agitator in an Easy
1964 Easy spiral agitator, in the washer I picked up for our webmaster Robert in San Diego, in 2011.
Lots of fun, sloshy, spiralation with this one!

Hey RevvinKevin, what machine is Agitator no. 13 from ? Don't think I have seen that type before. I had a Hotpoint top load with the Spiralator Agitator and it had a filter Flo device which you put on top of the agitator. That thing really got rid of the fluff from your laundry !! Ah...the good old days !!!

John, I'm not 100% sure on #13, but I want to say it's from an older Apex wringer washer. I'm sure someone else will chime in with the correct answer.
On GE / Hotpoint filter flo machines, while they do use lots and lots and LOTS of water, yes they do an EXCELLENT job of removing fluff, lint and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">especially</span> dog and cat hair, etc!
Here are a couple more photos. Not that it's a favorite agitator, but I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">love</span> the machine it's in, a mid 50's Blackstone washer.

#13 is the Blackstone Hydractor wringer washer agitator...

Hi Chestermikeuk. Yeah I just recently purchased a Wilkins Servis Superheat MK16 from ebay. The agitator does that 210 arc. Really impressed with it. I think the Spiralators from Hotpoint top loaders / twin tubs done a 90 degree arc ?

No.5 comes from an older ABC wringer machine. Dexter of the same time looks like the ABC but with no ridges on it. Happy washing. Gary

Glad to see the upvotes for the Blackstones.....
.... but I want to add some color to this thread. Thus, the Blackstone Petticoat, which fits on the 250/350 agitator, creating a "gentle" cycle.
Speaking of the 350s, I just counted, and I have 15 of the stainless steel tubs in my cellar. Stacking them sideways, under the staircase, creates a nice set of storage compartments.
Sorry, Paul, never cared for the later plastic Blackstone agitators. They break, especially if the customer never ever removes them for cleaning.
