General Electric Washer Wringer

[hoag]

Hello All!

I am NOT familiar with these old washers and I could use some guidance.

I bought an old home that was passed down the sellers family. It hasn't been lived in since it's original owner/builder died many decades ago. I found this wringer washer in there and was wondering if anyone could tell me what year(s) it would have been made, and what I should ask to sell it for? It has a nice layer of dirt and dust.

I'm selling the home's antiques to help me afford to save the home!

Thanks so much.

Circa 1948

Google "1948 GE washer ad", and you can see magazine ads for this machine. This model was probably made from just after WWII until GE discontinued wringer washers in the early to mid 50's.

My grandfather in Mississippi had a GE wringer washer, but it had exposed legs instead of the long skirt.

Sadly, it appears to be missing its agitator...
