  white elephant? posted by Howard on Wednesday, June 7, 2000, at 05:39:13:
> 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? > Howard
  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  No vintage washing machine experts on RinkWorks.  I guess you can't have everything in one place.  BTW, I measured and the gasoline engine won't fit that model.  Didn't want to put it on there anyway. Howard
