Vintage photos of wringer washers

[bradross]

For those of us interested in wringer washers, I'm starting this thread in an endeavor to amass a collection of vintage photographs. Please post additional pics that you come across.

Long live the wringer washer!

The washing machine looks to be a late 40's Kenmore yet the picture and dresses depict a time that looks more turn of the century.  This should be a fun thread to follow.  Thanks, Brad.

hi Brad

DO you want your thread to be of only vintage photos or can they be of vintage machines now being used? I hope you are well? Gary

Very cool thread. I look forward to watching it develop...

 

[bradross]

To answer Gary's question ...

Any pics of vintage wringer washers still in use would be great, Gary! I'll post a few of my Maytag E2LP, as well as some others from my digital collection. Looking forward to everybody's responses!

...Brad

Here's a cool shot of the assembly line for G.E. wringer washers. Anybody know the possible location of that plant?

The First UK Wringer...

Servis Model "A" made in 1929, this was found sat in a small repair shop where it had been in the window for over 40yrs, in Darlaston, West Midlands, round the corner from the Servis factory from where it was made!!

Probably not what you were thinking of, but it does wash clothes and it does have a wringer.

She's cleaning and separating *her* rollers after each use. Do you??

Is it me or do things just look dirtier in Black and White?

This is my first time for loading a pic so not sure if it will work or not. This is my J which was made in 65.

Scoots, I agree...although, I must say I love the graphics on that box of Oxydol!

And

This is my E made in 81. One washes and one rinses for all laundry now. I do spin out the clothes in the auto prior to putting them in the dryer. The wringers just don't have it when it comes to wringing all the water out. But, it is great fun on wash day which is today. I have no idea why I didn't clean the counter top off. Now everyone knows I'm on drugs LOL. Happy Maytag Wringering everyone who has one.
