Unknown wringer washer - help identify?

[bradross]

Hey everybody,

Saw this wringer washer on Craigslist - any suggestions as to the brand? It's got an interesting aluminum agitator - almost like an "Activator" in a G.E., but with slightly curved fins.

Hi Brad, I hope you are well? It is from the '30's it looks like? It's not a Dexter or an ABC. My grandmother had a 30's GE and the wringer didn't look like this one nor did the agitator. A Universal or Western Electric perhaps? Have fun with this. Take care, Gary

Thanks Gary ...

I'll look forward to hearing what you've found. I'm thinking it might be a Universal.

A couple days late....

 

 

Brad I would guess Universal also, based on the pattern embossed in the tub.   I picked up this (late 40's / early 50's?) Universal wringer in early 2009 (sold that year too).   While the patterns are different, you can also see how they are similar.

P.S... at lease the seller has a reasonable price on it.  I've seen plenty of other wringers in So Cal and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">in much worse condition</span> for 5X that price!

Yeah, that French magican again; there was nothing he didn't know....
