All i can say is WOW!!! I have never seen a Wizard washer like this. Does anyone know who the manufacture was of Wizard in the 50's? Are these beam machines? At any rate that is a very sweet pair.

...and all the right buzz-words of the era.

srubs denims
papers danties
rinses 9 times AND saves water (compared to what, an overflow rinse?)

WHAT? no OZONE LAMP? THE GERMS, the GERMS.... LOL

but I'd love to see pics of the workings of these machine should anyone have a set.....

Up to 9 rinses?!

even back in the day can you imagine how much water would have been used in a single cycle?! OMG

 

[spiralactivator]

I sincerely hope those are spray rinses!

I suspect that this is the very first Franklin designed Wizard. I'm pretty sure that these were Beam designed machines before 1958. My Franklin-Wizard does four 10 second spray rinses during the first spin, an overflow rinse and then four more 10 second spray rinses in the final spin. That makes a total of nine rinses.

I just love those big dials, this set would be a very fun find!

I'm surprised at the lot of you!

The models illustrated are "Wizard Imperials."

I bet they would have done wonders on white sheets!

(If you need to have that explained, either email me -addy in profile, or ask here)

The lid looks like Kenmore. I love the clock.........perhaps you could use the clock to delay the wash (for soaking)? They should have put a pushbutton AM radio right in the center. What an awesome pair.

There's a little organisation kalled the Ku Klux Klan, and one of their posts is "Imperial Wizard."
