I came home yesterday and there was a 1934 Maytag wringer washer sitting on the carport. I don't know if it's a treasured antique or a white elephant. It looks like it is in remarkable condition. I've looked around on the internet in places like Ebay, but I can't find one like it or even a hint as to it's value. It is mostly aluminum with iron legs and brass parts here and there. It has a electric motor, but the power cord is rotten. I have a 1932 Maytag gasoline engine in my shop that would fit right on it, but I plan to keep that and get it running. I don't have room to keep the washer.

Oh, it didn't just appear by magic. My son bought it at an auction. He and I both like old mechanical stuff, so this thing caught his eye and he made one bid and bought it.

Does anybody know anything about stuff like that?
