Need these to go away

[kingjulian]

I'm not sure if these are worth anything to anyone here. They're in my mom's basement. I found you folks and would like to see them go to someone who would restore them before scrapping them out. Feel free to reach out to me either by phone or email..

You might want to rethink posting email and telephone contact information in a public forum. Everything posted here is harvested by Google and other search engine bots within several hours. So unless you want SPAM galore and other problems......

Cant make out brands! And do they work? Inquiring minds would like to know! Greg

Thank you @launderess. I only use that email for things like this. I beleive I have like 50k emails in there. I purge every year.

@luxflairguy I am going to guess they do not run but I don't know for sure. One is a Blackstone model number 330. The other was identified as a late 30s model washer.

I attached the serial number plate. I was able to make out "automatic washer company"

It looks closer to the 20s according to the deteriorated stamps. Would love it if someone could identify.

Newton, Iowa was where Maytag’s were manufactured and they did use a square tub that was not common to other manufactures.   I’ve never seen a Maytag Wringer washer like this one, but who knows it could be a Maytag?

Thank you for offering them here.

Thank you for more pics! It helps a lot! Greg

 

[luxflairguy]

P.S.! I though the first one was a Blackstone!

It's interesting that the Newton machine is made by "Automatic Washer Co." when clearly it's not an automatic.

 

It definitely should not be scrapped.  It strikes me as produced by a possible predecessor manufacturer to the Maytag Company.

Newton Iowa - birthplace of electric washing?

Automatic Electric Washer Company

 

[COLOR=#444444; font-family: helvetica; font-weight: 400]"The Automatic Electric Washer Company was located in Newton, Iowa, and in 1907 introduced one of the first, if not the first, mass produced electric powered washing machines. By 1910 it was selling more than 40,000 machines a year with a corporate slogan “Everybody Works but Mother.” Its advertising campaign declared “Ten O’clock and the Washing Done.” Mother could be proud and could look forward to the chores facing her the rest of the day."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#444444; font-family: helvetica; font-weight: 400]That's a cool washer to find, as well as the white one.  It's a Blackstone with a Hydractor agitator.  Likely post-war.[/COLOR]

Automatic Washer Co. even marketed the no-spin combo under its brand for a brief time.

Hi Seth

Thanks for offering these machines here,

 

How much money do you want for them ? ?

I'm trying to figure out what their worth. I've been calling around and doing some of my own research. The green one is pre-maytag made in the same factory. I'm assuming by automatic they just mean the agitator is automatic because it does have a power cord. The square bin is porcelain over steel(magnetic). The lid is very light. I'll post more pictures soon.

I don't think the green one is "pre Maytag" or from the same factory. Maytag had thier name on washing machines earlier than it.

Value of two old wringer washers

Realistically I don’t think they’re worth much more than between 20 and 50 bucks there is very little demand for those old machines when they’re not in great condition.
