#5 in that last photo is the best agitator ever designed IMO.

By best I mean effective wringing action + least wear on clothing.
 
I am surprised Greg has not added a photo of the "Garden of Agitators" from his Wash-In" a number of summers ago. There sure were a lot of 'em.

#1 on the bus, the Whirly/'Kenmo looks quite dignified with it's little "poodle cap" on, riding in solitary splendor, awaiting its next match. A down and dirty dirt fighter in disguise.Just like the SQ, a real brute!
 
Thanks for the info on Agitator #3/Washington, Rich; So that's from a Kenmore, eh? I've never seen that one, although its flat top certainly screams KM.

When was it used? Was it on full-sized machines or the portables? And is that a lint filter right above the fins?
 
That gold kenmore agitator was the very first direct drive Kenmore agitator. The lint filter is in the center.

Here is the Agitator in the Attic picture, the first in the series I made...
