He thinks it's worth $200 but thinks it could be 1932? No-no-no-no. Just from the controls, ~1954. Well kept though. No external rust visible, but unrevealing photo.

And don't the Easy washers from the 1930's have the "suction cup" agitators?

Here's a mid-30s Easy twintub suctioncup. Says the twintub was patented in 1912! Also that the example could predate 1932, when Syracuse changed the corporate name to the model name, Easy.

They didn't take on the 'sleeker' cabinet and Spiralator until the 40s IINM. And the centralized controls until the 50s.

Very nice Easy washer-beautiful-hate to use it and mess it up.someone did a lot of work cleaning it up!My Mom's parents used to have a summer cottage that was on an island in New Hampshire-the electric system there was 32V-all of the cabins wired into the small power plant-it had a Hit-miss gas engine that ran the 32V gen set.and the generator fed batteries.She had lamps,and a sewing machine that ran from 32V.Now the cottage has been sold and was wired for 120V back in the 60's.For a long time when the old power supply was abandoned-the cabins had no power.Then I was a dumb kid and put one of the 32V bulbs in a bulb socket wired for 120V-It made a good flashbulb!the rest of the bulbs were saved.
