Solid Tub Lady Kenmore?

[Unimatic1140]

I've seen the Frigidaire version of this toy, but never the Lady Kenmore Version...

I remember this as maybe "Wolverine" ?

I had the Frigidaire version and many others. I usually broke them the first week from "doing too much laundry".

I had a few battery powered and one or two Hand Crank series. I think my Mom got me the crank because I was burning through batteries. ; )

Got me looking...

Here's a GE

Pardon Our Interruption...

With that really gentle no Activator activation action.

Yes that GE is missing its Activator, I have one of those on my desk at work...

That is very cool! It even has the atomic looking 'SR' Sears Roebuck emblem on the control panel! It's local to you and not in your collection yet, Robert?

It's local to you and not in your collection yet, Robert?

Nope, I'm in downsize mode, I want less things in my collection, much less actually. I've been selling small appliances lately on Craigslist and just gave away my GE Triple-beat mixer to my new bf Doug. I gave him the choice of four mixers and after three days of hard indecision he picked the GE because it is unusual and has lighted bowl, lol! I'm going to list more mixers, blenders and Pyrex soon. The Westinghouse sold and someone is coming over for the Kenmore tonight.

I had the pink Wolverine.  The bully across the street dumped a pail of sand in mine.  Dad had worked all day, that night he took it apart and fixed it for me.  Priorities

I contacted the seller, nice person. She is going to find a box and give me the total for shipping also. I want that one to play with and display. Thank you Robert for the heads up.

I received it via UPS today and everything looks and works as it should, holds water fine, BUT I did not realize in the beginning this was one of the very rare Rite Hite models that Sears sold for just a few years in the 60's, not a smaller Wolverine model. When the seller told me the measurements, 2 1/2 feet tall and cost for shipment ($125), I said to go with it, sent her a check and she packaged it so the box would withstand an earthquake. Happy Birthday Robert and thank you again for the lead on this. Now, I have to find the right shade of pink nail polish to touch up a few spots.

They lied putting Kenmore on this as the 3 vane agitator goes up and down like a Frigidaire. 1962 Wishbook had it for 9.95 and the small Wolverine models were a little over 3 bucks. But it is alot of fun to play with, albeit big and bulky.
