Christmas 1954

Wow does this ever take me back it is so absolutely familiar ! Thanks for sharing and the journey !

Thrilled with this work saving device. Delightful!!! Love this. Congratulation on your home page feature, Joe F/L

I was born in 1954. I remember my Mom going to the laundry mat for most of my childhood, not washing at home. It's the wringer that fascinates me most! :) LF

No harm no foul and no problem here.

I hope you didn't take my comment as demeaning. I simply never saw a machine like that before even though my family had a washer in the 50s (maybe the 40s, I was too young to notice). It has that cool 50's futuristic design that made the period memorable. Despite the advances in cleaning technology, I'm still waiting for my jet pack.

Having been born in the early nineteen 30s in the epic center of "The Dust Bowl" Bristow Oklahoma let me assure you that a washing machine was a great labor saving luxury mostly for the women of that most difficult period of American History.

JIM: Mom used a washboard and galvanized tub to do laundry prior.

I definitely CANNOT relate to that bizarre contraption. That thing that looks like a prototype Siamese R2D2! l, f, WHAT?

Congratulations your creative "Holiday Image"has been showcased on the Home Page of the "Out Of The Ordinary" group!

Nice vintage shot!

Great vintage experience! Fans of the TV show (Dexter) may also find some humour in this one.

interesting to see an old picture like this. L

Thanks for this wonderful image, Joe -- brings back great memories of my childhood! L/F
