This is a Beatty Bros. Wringer from about 1946 to 1951. I grew up in Saskatchewan Canada, and this was the most popular wringer washer in the 1950's there.
Cheers!

I was going to go with Speed Queen, LOL.
Beatty Brothers
Was Canada's answer to large appliance makers "down south" so to speak. They were large in all sorts of home white goods from the laundry to farm.
One of my first vintage appliances was a tabletop ironer made by Beatty Brothers. Darn thing was built for the duration but didn't suit my needs. Sold it on to a supervisor of a home for special needs children in Hawaii,and she was that happy to have it. Apparently the staff was ironing the children's bed linens and such by hand, and finding an ironer locally was very difficult as well as finding someone willing to sell/ship off the mainland.

Thanks for all the responses!
So I guess it's a Beatty! For those interested, here's a pic of another earlier model. Notice this older model doesn't have a drain hose - just a valve to use over a floor drain.

Hhmmmm
Looks very similar to a Servis Model R from 1952, they had full cabinet models before the war but due to the shortage of steel Servis reverted to the pre-war style to save valuable resources!! Is this your machine Bradd??

Hi Brad
is that a fridge or an icebox in that photo next to the washer?

That appears to be an ice-box. I found that pic on the internet while browsing - if I recall correctly, it's from a house museum.
