That and the mower are great, a couple of years back I picked up a washer at a clearing sale at one of the original mountain homesteads here. It was hand operated the big barrel like Don's but inside was sort of an inverted funnel attached to a hand lever, the dear lady would pump the lever up and down and water was forced through the funnel thingy, the a big old hand roller on top to get the water out of clothes, gave it to a buddy who liked it

Amazing to me how much Savage stuff made it Down Under....

Just Got back from a holiday and catching up on the gossip
this thread jogged my memory
Years ago I picked up the brass manufacturers plate of the side of one of these
Washing machines so I assume that at least one of them made its way Down Under
