This isn't it but she had one like it .
I remember helping her with the sheets .
They are antiques now 
I wonder what happened to it ?

I remember my old Nan having an old mangle like that.   You had to be careful not to get your fingers in the way as you fed laundry though the rollers. 
Then my  Mum got one of this Hoover twin tub washer/spinner machines.   Very upmarket.   :smiley:

I think just about everybody did. Certainly I remember one. Along with washboards.

We lived in a flat, no room for one that size. We had an Acme wringer for small stuff. Our big items like sheets, tablecloths and bath towels went to a laundry. In a brown paper parcel.  I remember the coloured stitches used as laundry marks. 


Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖
