Tap Specific Image To Enlarge!
Technically not a "washing machine" but this hand-agitator with a long handle served the same purpose. Using an up-and-down, churning motion, a person could agitate the clothing in a wash pot or washtub. An alternative to using a rub board.
This unusual wooden washing machine probably dates from around 1910-1920, but unsure of that. It did not run on electricity, but was hand-operated. Notice the wringer on left side. Also see next picture.
