My wife and I went to the 57th Annual Pageant of Steam in Canandaigua, New York today. We go almost every year. And this display of old Maytag washing machines is always there.

My grandma had the 1951 model and I remember as a 5yrs old kid in 1980, I accidentally put my index finger into the ringer and OUCH 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I still have my finger thank goodness. I remember my dad screaming "why are you putting your finger in there?!" lol

I would love a speed queen wringer washer for real!!!!!!! I live in Lebanon Indiana and need a way to wash my clothes, I truly can't wash them by hand. 1984 was the year they stopped making the Maytag wringer

My grandmother bought a new Maytag wringer washer right before I moved into their home in 1976. She swore by wringers.

Love it Herrick, we wash our clothes every week in a 1952 square Maytag wringer washer and we also have a 1942 round Maytag and several others we purchased for parts. Nothing beats a wringer washer for getting clothes clean and I mean really clean. :)

1958 at 4 years old I learned to keep my fingers out of the wringer (mother stopped the wringer just before major damage but boy did my fingers hurt).

You're not the only one that is amazed that Maytag's last wringer washer off the assembly line in Newton, Iowa was in November of 1983!

Elizabeth L. Johnson said, Those were the days...probably a lot better, wholesome, and cleaner in many respects than nowadays. I see you even got a shot of vintage folding-chairs! I haven't seen straps used in folding-chairs in decades. Can't find 'em for sale around here at all.

Oh how I love this!! I'm a "vintage Collector" of Lots of old "memories Stuff". Especially Pocket Watches. My best friend's mother had one of those round Maytag's, and I used to help her do the family wash when we were young. They hold a ton of clothes, and the wringers work great too. I would love to have one, however they do cost a lot to get them in shape, but I've never met anyone that has restored one, that it didn't last forever once it was completed. I also have a Lawco Window Refrigerator, that is put in a window in the winter to keep your milk and perishables fresh or frozen, depending on the weather. I intend to put a couple of them in the 12x12 addition/pantry room I'm building, just as soon as it gets cool enough to work outside. It was a really big item in the early 1800's in New York, actually just about anywhere in the northern states. In the south they used them to store pies. Some even put them on the outside of their house by cutting a rectangle in their home in the kitchen wall, to the inside. They are very hard to find today, and cost 3x's what they used to. I forgot to mention that those washing machines really get your clothes clean too. All my collectables are for my use, so I love finding things that will work without electric, or can be made to work for me. However my real love is for my Pocket Watches. I have lots of them, and to watch one working is like looking at a lost art, and a wonder. Over 200 parts and parts so small, that it takes a magnifying glass to see them. See what you did? You had me walking down memory lane and I went crazy, but you sparked my favorite thing to do when I get to go out, so pardon all the writing, and thank you for sharing this, it got this old bird to flutter her windgs like crazy. Bless, Sheila

I looked up Lawco Window Refrigerator. That's something new to me. Nice to know about. Pocket watches are neat. I have one of my grandfather's.

That was a foot-operated starter, not a brake. Similar to a kick starter.

My grandparents when they were first married, had a gas Maytag. For whatever reason my grandmother could never get it started, so my granddad had to start it on wash days before he went to work...

Check your local Craigslist. These washers come up for sale there fairly often.
