I emailed the seller after the first listing expired with no bids, and he agreed to relist. If someone else wants it, go ahead and bid. I'm not going to spend a lot of money on it, but would like to add it to my collection...

Its not a 1943 model, they didn't make washers in 1943, no one did. Its a late 40's-1950 model.

I thought the ACME Imperator was made right through the WAR!!!!

Oh that's right Jon and Steve, I completely forgot about the early Acme Imperator Washer, made as early as 1943 with its revolutionary (no pun intended) 870rpm spin, first high speed spinning front loader!! Jon here is that picture you took of it a few years back in your collection, do you still have it, or did one of your 86 Duomatics push it out the door?

It's a cute little washer regardless of what year it was made.

 

[jetcone]

Thank you RObert for finding it!
What a great washer with the shak-a-tub action! Jouncing the clothes for days!!
