What year is this?

[saltysam]

Recently my wife and I were antique shopping and I ran across this vintage Easy washing machine. I thought it looked awesome and took some pictures of it. Would anyone know what year this might be? My wife wanted me to buy it but thought it was kind of pricey. $300 plus we were on the motorcycle and didn't have a way to haul it home. Of course my wife being the haggler that she is could probably get that price down to about half if not more....Does anyone in the club have one of these?

Somewhere

between 1918-1925ish, the model after this had white enamel.
They also made a spin dryer in this model which weighs a ton!

Mine is up for sale if you want a totally restored working unit with the optional gas burner!!

Just slam that gas pipe onto it , light and walk away. Wash is boiled clean or your house is cinders! I wonder what the Gas association would say today!

Hey Jon, what's the action like--up and down or up, down and around?

What is with those colors Jon? LOL!

A washer with a Bunsen burner! You really don't even need a rigid pipe, a simple bit of garden hose will do just fine!

Those colors look tantalizing, toddlers beware!

Yes it got returned

from a sale because the 3 year olds couldn't keep their hands out of the mechanism. Duh 3 year olds!

Why Robert I thought you'd recognize factory colors in a snap!
I thought basic black was much too boring after 90 years!

Wait till you see the 56 Bendix... now there will be color!

Mikey I forget the earlier machines just went up and down but the later ones also rotated the vacuum cups, my spin dryer did that. Yes I remember this one just goes up and down so its an earlier version.
