I've never seen the inside of a Hamilton washer before

I've NEVER seen the inside of a Hamilton washer before I saw this one posted. What year is that Hamilton washer?

 

[bajaespuma]

Could there be any rollover here?

I think it's neat, too, to see a vintage Hamilton washer right before they were exterminated. Don't mean to step on anybody's toes here, but am I the only one who thinks that agitator looks like one of the most ineffective designs I've ever seen next to the GE straight-8 even.

Well, it does look almost like a handwash agitator.

If you look carefully at that Hamilton washer, you can see a machine that looks a lot like a Westinghouse top loader, down to the "HEAVY DUTY" emblem on the front. The first Hamilton washers were made by Norge. In the early 50s, the Norge/Hamiltons ranked very high in washing performance with that powerful agitator in a relatively small tub.

Gaga and drooling over such priceless vintage stuff, Rich

Regarding the Hamilton agitator: remember how lame the also gold Kenmore Pentaswirl agitator looked at rest? Quite a different story when working. Ate a big piece of humble pie over that one once.
