Laundry Queen - Hey Greg!

[rocketwarrior]

Greg, I didn't see you out sale-ing this weekend, did you miss this?

Laundry Queen, another pic

Another angle

Wow

Who made these? The wringer head is identical to the Australian made Simpson wringers.

Did these use a fluid drive gearbox underneath?

Underneath

Nathan, I have no idea what I have but assumed Greg would assassinate me if I didn't pick it up. When I get back to the shop tomorrow I will look 'underneath' and also look for a nameplate or something - maybe take a couple more pics.
Now I know was Australia is known as the land down under.

Where's the money shot? (inside)

How interesting, I only stopped at a couple of sales this week and didn't see ANY laundries let alone this. I don't assassinate, I congratulate! This could make a great sculpture beginning - if your wife doesn't fall in love with it first!

That's probably a Lovell wringer, they supplied many manufacturers with wringer assemblies.

Money Shot?

Here is an inside shot.

 

[rocketwarrior]

So, you mean I can vandalize it?!?

Here is an underneath shot.

So, I interpret your comments to mean that it is not necessary that I preserve this unit to save humanity? I can go ahead and let my muse consider it for appropriate artistic "value added" treatment?
I'm so excited.

If you go to the archives to 11535 you can see a picture of a Laundry Queen automatic washer I posted earlier this year.

CBS Sunday morning last Sunday did a nice story on Maytag leaving Newton. I guess there were several appliance companies located in Newton in the early part of the 20th Century.
