I can remember sitting on the cellar steps watching my Mum do the laundry with an old washing machine similar to yours. What a fantastic bargain you acquired! I enjoy using my old wringer and wash tubs with scrub board! When Sarah was little she and her friends had fun using it on hot summer days splashing around in the soap suds! I've always found Fels Naptha the best for getting soot out of my aprons. Mildred and Missy Mousiekin look to be having a splendid time doing out the wash and to be sure the satisfaction of a job well done!<br /><br />Your friends,<br />Diane and daughter Sarah and Tillie Tinkham the seamstress mouse at the Corgyncombe CourantDiane Shepard Johnson and Sarah E.

I have my grandmother's tub washer and wringer - not in working order - museum pieces - but I couldn't bear to see them go on a scrap heap when we had to empty the house after she passed at 101 years old! Such a stark reminder of old, slower days when things didn't have to happen so fast. How wonderful that you are able to remain in that time as a lifestyle. The Mousiekins are such a whimsical blessing! Thanks so much for posting!

WE had a wood fired copper for boiling clothes and two tubs for rinsing.Then Mum progressed to an electric wringer washer...oh joy11<br />When my Hubby and I moved into the house we live in now,45 years ago, there was a wood fired copper and two stationary tubs in the kitchen. One tub had a portable electric agitator in it and a wringer was bolted to the join between the tubs....voila! a washing machine.<br />Unfortunately we didn't have a camera in those days and have no record of this set up, and it's been gone for 40 years now.<br />Thank you for this lovely post<br />Happy Easter<br />God Bless<br />Barb from AustraliaBarbara Neubeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12129774816143303590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1692353766608445190.post-22292948279026660642012-04-06T07:50:11.659-04:002012-04-06T07:50:11.659-04:00My dearest Linnie,

Growing up we had a the wash tubs with the hand wringer, then came the wringer washer. Many hands got caught in it until we learned to use it safely. My hand got caught in it once, that is all it took to learn how to not let it happen again. But wash day was fun with all the women in the house working together, singing and telling stories.
