Does it look anything like this?

I have one that looks similar to this. This is a Kenmore, made by Whirlpool. If your gran had a Whirlpool it probably looked something like this, unless it was made before the mid 50s. They are very nice machines.

Wow, looks great! That's surely a massive wringer.

Yes, the nice thing about the wringers on these machines as compared to others is the open top. Sometimes stuff has a tendency to want to wrap around the roller, and with the open top, it's easier to see what's going on and be able to stop and reverse or otherwise react.
