Trying to identify old GE washer

[AleciaJones]

This is for sale near me and I've been trying to reverse image search to find out what model it is, are parts available and I'm coming up with nothing. No photos inside drum, haven't asked yet. Seller claims it 'might' need a new cord to use-it clearly needs a new cord but maybe more. Does anyone know? Price is $150.

That's an interesting looking machine. Based on the design, I'd say it was made around 1930-1935.

After this post I continued my search. I still don't have an answer as to model, and the seller won't be able to get me the requested photos until Tuesday. I found other photos on a Library of Congress website, 1942 Conservation of durable goods was the topic. https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017691294/

Very cool-I would buy that at first sight for $150

That looks like Model AW-22/AW-22P from 1934

I think you're exactly right! I got this photo of the information plate but it was hard to make out. Do you have any suggestions for parts shopping-this doesn't look like an easy one to work with? Seller wants $150.

working on this will be like working on an off-brand 1920s car: no new parts,crumbling rubber parts,congealed up grease, etc. On the plus side,heavy iron parts and no plastic.... Motor,if original, probably is a GE wound rotor slip ring type type.Probably will need a dissasembly/inspection/cleanup...Well worth the price i say
