Yes, my grandma had one on her front porch. And my husbands granny had one when we started dating.

What I really remember most is how stiff those clothes would be from going thru the wringer.

Yes! Moms worried about kids getting fingers in the wringer. If you had one you hung onto it since there were no machines made during World War II.

When I was quite young I used to love visiting the neighbor who let me help her put her laundry through the wringer!

Sixty year olds never saw a ringer washer. Two nieces are 60 and 62 and their mother got a microwave when they were young. Top loads and dryers were standard.

My Aunt had one. I was fascinated by the whole process. Whenever we went to visit, it was something to be checked out. And I bet it was still working just fine when her house was sold.

Probably did a better job cleaning clothes, than my current washer.

We had a wringer washer when I was a little girl. I was helping my mom put the clothes into the wringer and my arm went into the wringer with the clothes. I still have the scar. The wringer had a separate power source and it broke. 😳

I am 66 and we never had that kind. We had a top loader but no dryer. Clothesline in the yard.

I'm 65 and I remember wringer washers. My Grandmother had one. Even after she got a regular washer and dryer, she still kept her wringer. She still had it when I was in high school in the 70's. She kept it until my Grandfather couldn't fix it anymore. And he could fix anything. And I remember washboards too. Grandma had a couple of those. Ah, memories!
