Child's Electric Toy Clothes Washer
(Item: 1947J)

A very quaint tin lithograph child's electric clothes washer. We believe it is a 1940's toy. The patent number on the toggle switch is "#1638828", and "Carling, Hartford, Conn.". The washer is in original condition, except for one new rivet in the lid. We put a leather belt on the motor. Although the motor works, the belt causes a slight drag on the motor, so the belt is only for show. There is some rust around the lower edge of the tub, lid, and inside the tub (see pictures). The green paint and lithograph are in good condition, with some scratches on the legs. The dimensions are 10 3/4" tall, and 7" in diameter. This was surely a much loved and much used toy....especially on wash day for dolly!
