Blackstone Model A

[mikeb33]

I came across a Blackstone Model A Serial Number C-3794 and would like to find some information about it. I will post a picture of it later but wanted to see if anyone had any idea. Its a wringer washer, electric, one large blue tub about the size of an oil can on legs with wheels.

Thanks

Blackstone wringer

Mine is white and is model no. 130AP and it is from 1948 or 49. So if yours is anything but white it was probably made in the 30s. I would love to see a pic of it.

That is one wild agitator!

I would love to see a video of that in action. Especially at different water levels. I have never seen one like that. I remember the very small plain 3 vane one in the Blackstone wringers.

That is a real beauty! This one is from the early 30s. I think you have to oil the motor bearings on this one once in a while. I would look and see if there are oil holes on the motor and oil it before you plug it in. You can access the motor by removing that metal plate where the wire goes in. You truly have a rare find my friend,those 1930s Blackstones are very few and far between. Don

I must admit that I never even heard of this model Blackstone, nor do I think that I would even have had any service information that old. Definitely a rare find.

Cool pics!

Thanks, guys, for posting these pics. I don't recall ever seeing a Blackstone in Canada (perhaps they weren't exported from the U.S.). Anyway, very cool machines, both of them!

Selling or Donating Blackstone Model A

Thanks for all the comments. Its been sitting in my Mom's basement for years and I really do not have not to display it. Any suggestions on donation or selling this unit? If its as rare as it seems it may be a museum piece.
