49 - Chores

All right, so it's been a while since this has been used for any chores! How would you have liked washing clothes in a machine such as this?

    I wouldn't, but the rusty texture looks fabulous!

    Used to the wringer could (and did) eat kids arms. Do you use the modern method, bashing the clothes on a rock by the river?

    I helped washed clothes on one as a very young child. And remember the warnings that it might grab you and hurt you. Great shot, and memories.

    I don't even like laundry in a modern washing machine let alone in a hand tub! No thanks (but what a great image)!

    Wonderful antique washer. My neighbor has one that he uses to squeeze the water out of the chamois when he washes his cars!!

    An evocative shot- to think what an improvement they were and how much work was still involved. Must have been a well built machine to stand out for so long.
