Rarely seen Maytag "R" - "Brigadeer" model

[scoots]

Here's a wringer I've been looking for for many years now. This is only the second I've seen and just my luck, It's in Chino and I'm in Chattanooga.

This is the Maytag "R", which was apparently a war-economies model with an "N" body but the old style wringer head.

Currently on eBay.

Just to make this post more interesting...

Here's an eBay capture of the brochure for this model (With a vintage J brochure thrown in...)
