Each month Mom and I like to republish a post from the same month of last year. \u00a0For February we picked this one that my mom wrote. \u00a0Since the reveal of my\u00a0revamped laundry room<\/a> was so well-received last week, we thought you might enjoy seeing this one again.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

*****<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I recently came across a little treasure for our laundry room. \u00a0It will join the antique wash board (here<\/a>) and ironing board \u00a0in our palladian blue laundry room. \u00a0The marble table I use for folding laundry is the perfect spot for it.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was a gift from my mother a few years back, and it’s been hiding in our basement since our move.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It has a lot of interesting details.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The company’s name was Anchor Brand, and of course, its logo was an anchor. \u00a0The company was located in Erie, PA, so I suppose the owners went boating on Lake Erie or the Erie Canal????<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The wet clothes were put between these rollers that would then wring out the water.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

The rollers turn when someone manually turns this crank.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

These clamps held this roller contraption onto a large wooden or zinc tub where the clothes were actually washed by hand probably with a wash board.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

It probably looked like this.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

It fits right in with the other accessories in the laundry room, including…..<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

this washboard and ……<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

this old ironing board. \u00a0Doesn’t this make you thankful for electricity and automatic washers and dryers?<\/h3>\n
