I spotted this old Maytag wringer washing machine in Lanier's, my favorite antique emporium. There 's always something new to see or should I say something old? I like this because we had one of these when I was very young and I remember standing on a stool and putting the clothes through the wringer and into the large sink to rinse and then back again.
I don't think ours was a Maytag or was accented with the lovely aqua color but if I had a place to put it I'd be tempted to buy it. My kitchen is white and aqua and has a 50's feel to it and were there space, this would fit right in. These antique stores stay in business because so many of us are buying back our childhoods.

It's a Maytag...it probably still works!
I have a friend that just did her kitchen over with reproductions of all the old style appliances.

My Granny had one of those on her back porch and I remember getting yelled at for getting too close to the wringers. I guess she was afraid our hands would get caught in it!
