I actually would like an early Speed Queen Wringer... If I'm not mistaken, I think there was a green model, 30's perhaps.

Yes, 1930's Speed Queens were a jadite color. But, machines of this vintage are not so easily found.

I sure would like to find a pink and white Visi-matic near me!

I remember traveling through the Southeastern US with my dad during the summers before the Interstate Highway System when highways took traffic through towns and rural areas. Every town you entered had a one way traffic pattern around the town square with the obligatory monument to the fallen Confederate soldiers. In the country, especially, you would see the porcelain tubs of long-ago dismembered wringer washers used as planters in the front yard. Completing the landscape design, tires were often buried halfway in the ground and painted white to mark the edge of the driveway near the road. No doubt this was a great help in the absolute darkness of country nights. I remember nights on those roads where, aside from the car's headlights, there would not be another light as far as you could see in any direction.

I'd also like a green Easy vacuum cup washer. I'm just a sucker for that green I guess.. haha
