Old Maytag Ringer Washers

You may think I have an obsession with old Maytag wringer washing machines, and I guess I am little different!

I grew up using a wringer washer. That's just how my mom and my Grandmother washed clothes.

I love doing laundry this way. It's faster, it saves water, clothes get cleaner and for me it's enjoyable. I think the best part is hanging everything on the clothes line in the sunshine to dry.

This is my moms old Maytag and I'm still using it. Runs like new! Unfortunately it's not set up at home but at our vacation place. Eventually it will make it into the house but for now I do the laundry in the pole barn.



This is my Grandmothers old Maytag. I picked up an old wooden electric Puffer Hubbard years ago at a flea market you can see in the background.

We picked this one up at a yard sale....I really wanted a turquoise washer....


Then I found this one for $15...good for parts or a planter....



My husband left me alone for a few minutes at a farm auction and this is what I bought while he wasn't looking....3 at $10 each... how could I choose just one! I think one is in good shape but the others can be for parts and to use as flower planters.


We're on our way home and a friend tells me she knows where I can pick up a gas wringer washer for free....we're stopping at his ranch!






Thank you Kathleen of Faded Charm for another White Wednesday!
