Normally I post these kinds of threads in As the Tub Turns, but since this is an older item than most of us go for I figured I will post this right in Imperial.

If interested please contact the seller at: THIS MACHINE IS NOW SOLD

Like an Easy!

The plunger must go up and down like the earlier Easy machines.I have a 1931 with the three chrome plungers and a spinner on the side of it,mine is that Green,with green speckled tubs.

Hhhmmmm

I think this needs to be pride of place next to your first Unimatic, the old and the new etc....What you say Robert?

 

[redcarpetdrew]

Mike, I was thinking right next to the Apex... LOL!

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Nope, remember I'm on the one in-one out rule. So it wouldn't go next to the Apex, it would have to into the spot that the Apex resides!

And of course we wouldn't want that now would we?

Robert,

Do you know if this was associated in any way with Oshkosh, WI?

Sorry Tim, I haven't any idea about that.

Ok.

WHAT ABOUT

that little gap down at the end beside the maytag wringer!! There's room there!!

this machine is square and white like your others!!

I think its very collectable with its Pyramid Action Agitator!

Did a little searching...

Not much out there!

According to the OldeWash website that's run bu Lee Maxwell, these were made by the Banderob-Chase Co. around 1915 in Oshkosh, WI.

I also found a mention of one from the old ApplianceVille archives in 2004. Not much there either but, as a side mention (a VERY IMPORTANT side mention!) in that saved archived section of ApplianceVille stuff was Robert's first announcement of a new thing that was coming to town. Something called The Discussomat and a new dangled thing called AutomaticWasher.org. I found a piece of appliance history! By the way, how are things with zzzuni? LOL! Found it about halfway down...

A short video about one. From some 'pickers' show mostly discussing what he could get for it. I love the quote about "Maybe there's some appliance collector out there who'd like to have this..." LOL!

Well, going by age, the WashKosh would have seniority , right?
