I understand they make for nice coolers for icing down beer.

Woo, what is the caliber and does it have a accutrigger?

Maybe we can all chip in,then drop it off on some dead-end road in Noxen?

Copper or nickel ?

Piece de resistance of an advanced Savage collection.
If the price was reasonable and I had a place to put it I’d buy it.

Ya gotta find the lawn mower to go with it!

And the exercise machine!

Appears to be copper.

Anywhere from 50 bucks to 200

I have the washer (shell only) which I bought at a flea market 35 years ago. Paid maybe $10. I passed up a complete one in working condition. Several hundred dollars and no space to put it. Also have one mower, push type. they made at least 2 power driven.

I've seen a washer (complete) and a lawnmower (power) in my travels over the years. I passed on the mower but could not make the actual auction to bid on the washer at an estate sale. I heard it went for $150.It was in really nice shape and all copper IIRC.

Savage made a lot of different model mowers, looking through a catalog I have they had four push type, two different width powered reel type, four different powered rotary type which included both four and two stroke gas and an electric that required using a long cord.

They also made a couple different riders, one looked normal, this one didn't - riding mower, probably a real screamer...

some more

If you want it you will probably have to give what they want for it. You will probably never see another.

Then you better not buy it; some meth head will steal it.

You guys are a bunch of cheapscates !!!!! back in the 1920's they sold for $150 !!!!! Heres a savage reel mower on a savage washing machine.

Wow! You could buy a new Ford for under $300.

The Old Lady: "Honey, my hands are getting chapped from hand warshing your dirty clothes. Could you please buy me one of those Savage warshers?"

Me: "Get yer butt back down to the crick."

Yet another reason I lead a bachelor's life.

I like that 3 wheeler. I wouldn't mind having a washing machine. It would fit in my man cave just fine. I suspect the one the OP is talking about is in Pa. and the shipping to Wy would be outrageous.

Heres he invoice to my savage washing machine.

That was a crazy number when you think about it.

How many G's could you have bought in 1924 for $94.50?

I bet the margins on washing machines was like 5x any of the guns they were producing.

1.8 99G's for $94.50.

The 99G was list at $51.

I bet you could have bought a matching pair. Nobody has ever sold a gun for list price.

The original price was $150, I wonder what they did,or traded to get such a large discount? Its pretty obvious only the well off could afford a savage washer.

I think wholesale prices were about 25% off for 99's, doing 30% on washers wouldn't surprise me. But doing 37% is more than I'd expect.

Actually, the dealers had to sell it for list price or HIGHER if they wanted to continue ordering guns from Savage. Part of the dealer contract was to not sell Savage rifles below the retail price set by Savage, though they could sell it for more if they wanted to. Pricing practices has changed a bit since then.

I think their intent was to prevent dealers from getting into a price war with Savage products, each marking them down lower and lower until the expectation was that you could get one for almost wholesale price.

Lots of things, even today, where the dealer in unable to price and/or sell the item for less than the msrp.

I doubt they sent the Savage police to every single hardware store in the United States and made sure no Savages were sold under list. The retailers weren't going weren't going to cook them and eat them if they didn't move. Paid inventory has to move, it can't sit indefinitely. If Savage tried to strong arm them all they had to do was call Winchester, Marlin and Remington. All manufactures of all products try to keep the retail price up, but when push comes to shove, they can say you have to do this and do that, but in reality they have no leverage in a competitive market. Been there. At then end of the day Savage, like any company, can only control the wholesale price. Microeconomics hasn't change that much in the last 100 years.

Just sayin....
