Anyone know this washer?

Sorry the picture is so bad. There are two words across the front. The second word looks pretty short. Would this be a Speed Queen?, I'm thinking maybe an Eaton's Viking. Its coming up for auction on Thursday. I like the chrome and blue trim.

Hey Brian

I'm interested too, I've never seen one that looks like that. I wonder if there is a wringer, or is it semi-automatic?

It screams THOR to me from the lid area.

So Brian,

did you go to the auction? Were you able to find out what it was?

Yep, got to the auction. Very strange little town, I could hear the banjos playing. The washer is a McClary Easy. It is kinda funky. It has the spiralator agitator, but looks like the pregnant roto swirl. Bidding started at $20.00, then $10.00, I shouldn't have offered $5.00, because I probably could have got it for free, I was the only one who bid on it. Now I have to find a way to get it home.

 

[bellalaundry]

Yeah...

good for you...If I'm correct, doesn't this make TWO wringers now?

Well actually it would have been three, but I got rid of one last fall. There is another auction on Monday and there is a Speed Queen wringer up for grabs. This is how it all starts, isn't it?
