Great old machine, and glad that you saved it from the scrap heap! Word of advice, if you don't mind --- you've overloaded the machine. Clothes should "tumble" or turn over towards the center of the tub when properly loaded.
With the 1950 US census being released today, I've been thinking of my grandparents a lot. Granny S. was born in 1919 and something like this would have been a dream to her mother.
I remember helping my mother wash clothes with an old Maytag wringer washer. A few things about your technique: 1. I think you put too many clothes in the tub, they should be submerged in the wash water without having to push them down by hand. 2. You should have two wash tubs on a stand filled with rinse water. When the wash cycle is done, you run the clothes through the wringer into the first tub for the initial rinse. Then, turn the wringer 90 degrees and run the clothes from the first tub into the second tub for their final rinse. Finally, turn the wringer another 90 degrees and run the clothes from the second tub into a basket, and then you can take them outside and hang them on the clothes line. (If you're washing clothes in the winter they'll freeze stiff on the line, but you can bring them inside and stand them against the wall until they thaw out.) 😄
@@derrickrees8895 My grandmother used "Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing". I remember the glass bottle with the deep blue liquid and the drawing of the stern-faced older woman with glasses on the label (presumably that would be Mrs. Stewart). It kind of confused me that a blue liquid would make things like sheets and table cloths seem whiter, but apparently that worked. Also, my Mum remembers that when the sheets froze on the line in the winter and were taken in to finish drying inside, they were whiter than white.
@@michaelcherry8952Wow! An authentic, vintage first hand experienced person who worked with these washers when young. YOUR A STAR! Fabulous! I really mean that. Thank you for telling us.
You guys are from a totally different era HA HA. My inlaws had and used one from the early 30's, but when war time came in 39 the lid was given for the effort. Imagine that. Thanks fellers!
Guys, that vintage restroom is awesome! I'm really digging the period fixtures, for sure. I still use a Maytag wringer washer from the early 50s for my garage rags and greasy clothes. After 20 years, I still get a kick out of it.
I can’t believe you guys are showing me what I watched my mama do dozens of times when I was a child in the 1950s. I used to help her carry water to fill up the washer. And yes I did run my arm through the wringer probably more than once.
Grampa bought a gas powered one in the early 50's. Dad said Gramma would use it , but she was scared of the engine. Gramma was pretty damn tough as I remember, hard to imagine her being afraid of much. Grampa would fire it up when he left for work in the morning, and if it was still running when he got home he'd kill it. This was in the Yakima valley, early 50's. Cheers!
This is the first video that we find out its Matt and Jim in the shop. I had seen Jim many times on CWM but I have never seen Matt. Great job on all your videos. Always look forward to them. That is a very cool machine. Thanks for the history lesson as always
Even in the mid 70's my mom used a wringer washer. I remember seeing "Press to release" printed on a bar on top of the wringer. A very important thing for a little kid to know! Thanks Matt and Jim, these videos are great!
I remember we had the deluxe version with the spin dryer off to the side. You would use the wringer and then use the bar (one more position over) to run the spinner. This was at the cottage in the early 1960s. Obviously by then they were already obsolete. The wringers would have a habit of prying off shirt buttons.
Coming from a musical family, I can picture kids sitting near the washer and playing a tune along with the rhythm! My mind went to a slow version of "Louisiana Saturday Night" 😆
My mother used a similar white porcelain covered version, maybe 10 years newer to do our washing until the mid 1970s. Nice to see you have given that survivor a purpose once more. Interesting too find others who enjoy the simplicity, style and craftsmanship of these useful tools from a bygone time. Bill Smith
My mom got her hair caught in the rollers when she was a teenager. Luckily, the washer was plugged into an overhead socket and she had the presence of mind to pull the cord, thus preventing her hair from being ripped off.
My aunt's neighbor lady ran her tits through her wringer. She was in alot of pain for some time but she was unbeatable at ping pong at the local nudist colony!
I put on John Hartford washing machine song and watched this and they went together perfect lol...shame you can't use music. Keep em comin these are great
You need a canoe paddle to flip the load. I seem to remember that as an integral part of the washer-woman tool kit from the old Toonerville Trolly era Sunday Funnies.
👍👌👏 Simply fantastic! What a nice, old and cool machine! From time to time I tried to purchase a manual wringer for almost 40 years now. Wanted it for wringing chamois leather and other car wash stuff. Meanwhile I don't need one any longer, so maybe such a device will come to me now!? ;-) 2) I guess to have clean clothes, one has to stir respectively turn around/turn over the laundry with a kind of wooden paddel very often. Also pretty warm water is needed and the laundry has to soaking a good amount of time. It could be fun to see the whole process while having events like open house etc.. The shop/building is a gem! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
That brings back memories fantastic ! That sound brings me right back ! Wish my mom was here to curse at it again lol . Mostly she was cursing my dad for being so cheap and not up dating to a new one .
Omgosh, my heart is in my ankles. I hope no kids see your thumbnail. I got my finger caught in my grandma’s wringer washer. It just about ripped my finger off. We could see it was being held by the bone and a little skin. I had to learn to write with my other hand. Wore a bandage for the rest of the school year because we couldn’t afford to get stitches.
Guess what? My sister had one with a wringer. I was about 7 years old. Somehow I got my right arm caught in the wringer all the way up to my armpit before it was turned offl and the rolls taken apart to release my arm. I survived with very little damage but now with healthy fear of machines in general. I.love machines
I grew up using a wringer washer. My brother was messing with the wringer and got his arm ran through it. My mom got excited and instead of releasing it she put it in reverse and ran his arm back through again. Lol. The winger would pop off the buttons if you weren't careful.
I used to have a very similar washing machine & sold it to move across country. I sure miss it because it was the BEST washing machine I ever had. Had the double tubs for soaking and/or rinsing as well. I loved it.
That just made me realize again how much work laundry used to be before machines and what an achievement they are. Imagine you have to wring those dry all by hand 😱
That's two "firsts" for me watching this channel. First it was the Silex VacPot, now this washing machine that I've never seen operated before. The only other time I had seen one was in an old Maytag ad from a 1963 Reader's Digest. Now you guys should try to find a refrigerator from the 1930s! Coffield Gyrator. Sounds like the name of an old Burlesque Queen.
in the 1950s my friend Donny Goodin age about 3-4 had his thumb rubbed and torn off by that type of wringer/dryer, no safety!. He had to have his hand sewed into his belly, that's how they use to graft skin in the good old days. love the channel
That is cool and of course it still works because they were built to work for a long time. I remember when I was young we had a white washing machine kind of like that I'm sure it was newer but it had the rollers to wring the water out of the clothes and then we had a Frigidaire electric dryer that had GM right on the chrome face on the front. They were old for the time being mid to late 80s but it worked good and we were not rich to have the newest fancy washer and dryer but what we had would work just as good or better then the new one's at the time.
We used to have an old Maytag wringer machine at the firehouse for washing the chamois we used on the fire engines. Also used it for washing fire gear that got contaminated with blood. You need one of those old time high tank toilets with the pull chain.
Have you ever came across an old machine like this with an "Iron Horse" kick start engine? After the power came to farms these engines were all over the place repurposed onto different things, small pumps etc.
my mum had a slightly more modern version of that. I think many different companies in the Commonwealth made them under license. And that wringer ... playing around with it one day,with my younger brother, we just had to see what happens when you ran a rag through the wringer. I got my hand caught and slapped the release. 60 years later I have painful fingers.. My brother was a bit slower on the release and really squished his forearm. Same with him,much pain on cold days .
As 'shop tours' go,that wasn't as crappier' as some.Love the "Mangled" clothing at the end.(The little bit of red in the middle made me think of Stephen King's 'The Mangler' too.)
Really cool item. From experience, use only liquid detergent in the washer. Powdered detergent will leave soap scum and make cleaning it a mess. I have a Savage electric washing machine/dryer. There is one in the Smithsonian Institute. It looks similar to your Coffield with the copper tub but it has an aluminum tub that spins the clothes after the wash cycle. There is no wringer attachment. I need to do a restoration. It needs a bunch of TLC.
Great new channel! I’m a huge fan of CWM and that’s how I got here. I’ve seen the D2 video and wanted to recommend the channel, Squatch253 to you. Super detailed and technical with the CAT parts I’m really looking forward to seeing more videos from you guys!
Nice vintage washer. It appears you still find parts like seals and bearings. That tin plating looks good. Did you all need to polish it to get it looking that nice? Very interesting.
I bet it washes clothes better than any HE washer out there. Ideally though you'd have a laundry sink on the other side of the wringer filled with rinse water and the clothes would drop straight down into it, then you put the wringer in reverse (having drained all the wash water from the washer) and run the clothes through the wringer again and into the empty washer where you can then load them into a basket to take to your clothesline. That's why the wringer has a forward and reverse. Nice to see your restroom sink has a single mixed tap instead of the vintage two tap faucets where you have to use both to fill the basin then wash up in the basin.
Nice clean garage bathroom. Plus I love the electric washing machine. Please tell me that you didn’t have to do anything special to prepare the bathroom.
You bring back so many memories of my mother washing clothes. Only thing missing is the outside clothesline.why didn’t you wash the clothes you were wearing? It would have been neat to see you wash your clothes and go around in your underwear. Wow thanks for memories. Love you guys. Take care and stay safe and beware of false prophets 🕊🍺👍🌞🌹💋🇺🇸😇❤️🙏🚗
1927 my Dad at 7 years old gets his hand caught in one of these and shears the flesh off of his right palm. Recovery took 2 years and multiple surgeries. I never went near my grandmother's machine!
Cool machine. I actually enjoyed watching it work. I am wondering if it would swirl the laundry if there were lighter fabrics? Maybe not the proper vortex fins on the agitator. 😂😂😂 You did good on the old style restroom too.
You need an old sawed off broomstick to poke the clothes down with like my mom used to do. Remember, you are using boiling hot water with pretty harsh soap so you don't want your hands in it too much.
Question: Are you going to have an address to send things to you? I really Like the channel I watch Coldwarmotors and Curiosity Inc. I know your channel is going to get to there caliber quickly. My Grandfather started a garage and gas station (mobil) business in 1929 here in Pennsylvania. He ran it till 1993 when he passed away walking to work at the age of 83. And I have a very interesting automotive book very old that I think needs to be in your garage. Would love to see what you guys think of it. was going to send it to coldwarmotors to give to Jim but since you guys started a channel I would like to send it to you. Maybe you guys can start a mail opening videos.
@@Lucas_Tulic I have a Bosch washing machine. It's 26 years old and it's never put a foot wrong. My friends are all amazed. They're more used to a washing machine lasting 5-10 years at best. As good as the Bosch is, I still can't see it working when it's approaching 100 years old! When something does eventually break, I probably won't be able to get parts for it. Of course, built-in obsolescence is what keeps companies in business. The longer any item remains in use, the smaller becomes its carbon footprint. Obviously, that argument is never going to convince the people who throw away perfectly good appliances because they don't match the new kitchen units they replaced their perfectly serviceable old kitchen units with. Everyone's talking about "environmental awareness" nowadays but the majority of them are only playing at it at best.
Those were built when things were to last now days nothing is built in America anymore and your real lucky to have something last over 10 years anymore before having to buy a new one
I think you will find it works better if you add the clothes first, and then fill to the line. It looks like there is too much water, and the agitation can't really "grab" the clothes. That's my guess anyway.
It's a sweet old machine but it simply reminds me how dreadful it was to constantly have your hands in cold detergent water and trying to get the cloths even half dry with a wringer. It is lovely in it's simplicity and a far cry from a wash board or tub so must have seemed like a miracle to the laundry person back in the day. 😊
Pauline! 'Laundry Person', I'll -side-step gender here but how about dhoobie wallah. In the north of England you would use a posser to jostle the clothes in the tub and a pair of long sprung beech wood tongs to lift the clothes out of the hot water. Modern apparel would not last long treated like that and repeatedly put through those rollers.
That machine is immaculate for it's age... What material is the agitator made from please? Bit generous with the Borax guys!!! 🙂Check! Rinsing must be fun? Check! How many people are NOT aware of this technology? Shit loads!!! Ample reading material for the Restroom...Check!
g'day from South Australia fellas 😊 If i had one of those i would probably use it, my wooden "settlers cottage" house was built in 1895 and my kitchen has a gas cooker from 1930s which still mostly works, bit leaky on the propane though now. I'm wondering if the Clothes were supposed to be added first then fill the water up to the line? it would keep the clothes closer to the agitator and maybe turn them over better to save having to do that? Anyway cool find in supreme condition 😊
Fellow " Crow eater " here. I well recall mums' Simpson wringer washing machine ( circa 1950-55 ? ). Very hot water, the pulsation of the machine and how, once it ' got a go up ' the machine would 'walk' across the smooth terrazzo laundry floor. First thing Monday was laundry day unless the weather was inclement in which case a better day of the week was chosen.
A neat old machine though I was hoping for a gas engine Maytag. Even if your life insurance is paid up, I strongly recommend to never touch both a water valve and that machine at the same time. You know at some point in that machine's life it was hooked up to a circuit w/ a penny in the fuse box.
Great old machine, and glad that you saved it from the scrap heap! Word of advice, if you don't mind --- you've overloaded the machine. Clothes should "tumble" or turn over towards the center of the tub when properly loaded.
Who would have thought that on Friday night I would be watching to guys doing laundry on TH-cam. lol Loving it guys
Lot cheaper than going out to bars and restaurants
With the 1950 US census being released today, I've been thinking of my grandparents a lot. Granny S. was born in 1919 and something like this would have been a dream to her mother.

Quite right ! - and sometimes there was a tub with some brilliantly BLUE coloured stuff (Reckitts Blue ?) - which somehow made whites Whiter ....!
People forget how much more work laundry used to be before just putting it in a machine and waiting for the chime to tell them the load is done.

Yes, blue makes whites brighter! In the auto paint world, a little bit of blue added to white will brighten it......but in very small amounts!

My mom still uses a maytag wringer washer every week at 75 years old love the video
My grandfather was Maytag repairman back in the 40’s and 50’s. That bathroom looks nicer than any garage bathroom I have ever seen.
Fasicinating...Oh look, CWM vid is up!

Fantastic. The sound reminds me of a headboard from the same era. The one in the honeymoon suite.
That was fun. You fellas are a blast.
You need an old paddle or pole to push the load around.

Sure beats using the ol' washboard. Imagine what a game- changer these were.
Loved the coffee pot btw..
I love things things like that, theres something about old electric motors and dripping water adding to the fun.
old machines back in the day were dangerous but worked. my mom had one back in the day. cheers guys.
Nice machine and great video guys!
I'm 55 and remember my mom and grandmother using ringer washing machines when I was young.
Coming from a musical family, I can picture kids sitting near the washer and playing a tune along with the rhythm! My mind went to a slow version of "Louisiana Saturday Night" 😆
I bet Laura would love to give this machine a one-word review
Really enjoyed the shop tour, guys :)
Love how you two save old items ad erll ad work on cars. I really enjoy ypur channel.
anyone who thinks that's better does not do their own laundry! I will never complain about doing my laundry again. nice job guys! thanks!

You boys could have a wash night dance and the machine could be the rhythm section.
Where else can we watch laundry being done in an antique washer. The agitator works the same as my new one. That was nice to see the washer working.
Yes I like the mundane keep up the great content Jim you have always been my favorite agent on c.w.m.
Ha. Loved the tour. Washer worked well for shop clothes.
The "Thinking Room" might be the most important part of the shop!

Would love to see what you guys think of it. was going to send it to coldwarmotors to give to Jim but since you guys started a channel I would like to send it to you. Maybe you guys can start a mail opening videos.
No microprocessors, no OLED display and after nearly a century it still works faultlessly. Makes you wonder if we've really progressed that far...
The manufacturers did progress, the consumer is the one that didn't!
@@Lucas_Tulic I have a Bosch washing machine. It's 26 years old and it's never put a foot wrong. My friends are all amazed. They're more used to a washing machine lasting 5-10 years at best.
As good as the Bosch is, I still can't see it working when it's approaching 100 years old! When something does eventually break, I probably won't be able to get parts for it. Of course, built-in obsolescence is what keeps companies in business.
The longer any item remains in use, the smaller becomes its carbon footprint. Obviously, that argument is never going to convince the people who throw away perfectly good appliances because they don't match the new kitchen units they replaced their perfectly serviceable old kitchen units with.
Everyone's talking about "environmental awareness" nowadays but the majority of them are only playing at it at best.
Those were built when things were to last now days nothing is built in America anymore and your real lucky to have something last over 10 years anymore before having to buy a new one
I think you will find it works better if you add the clothes first, and then fill to the line. It looks like there is too much water, and the agitation can't really "grab" the clothes.
That's my guess anyway.
You forgot the magazine rack in the bathroom. LOL!
And very glad you didn't demonstrate the washer in your union suits...LOL
Very Cool guys! I’m guessing Scott still uses one of these at his house?
It's a sweet old machine but it simply reminds me how dreadful it was to constantly have your hands in cold detergent water and trying to get the cloths even half dry with a wringer. It is lovely in it's simplicity and a far cry from a wash board or tub so must have seemed like a miracle to the laundry person back in the day. 😊
Pauline! 'Laundry Person', I'll -side-step gender here but how about dhoobie wallah. In the north of England you would use a posser to jostle the clothes in the tub and a pair of long sprung beech wood tongs to lift the clothes out of the hot water. Modern apparel would not last long treated like that and repeatedly put through those rollers.
Good sleep aid!
That machine is immaculate for it's age...
What material is the agitator made from please?
Bit generous with the Borax guys!!! 🙂Check!
Rinsing must be fun? Check!
How many people are NOT aware of this technology? Shit loads!!!
Ample reading material for the Restroom...Check!
g'day from South Australia fellas 😊
If i had one of those i would probably use it, my wooden "settlers cottage" house was built in 1895 and my kitchen has a gas cooker from 1930s which still mostly works, bit leaky on the propane though now.
I'm wondering if the Clothes were supposed to be added first then fill the water up to the line? it would keep the clothes closer to the agitator and maybe turn them over better to save having to do that?
Anyway cool find in supreme condition 😊
Hi from another southaussie fella who likes old things :-)
Fellow " Crow eater " here. I well recall mums' Simpson wringer washing machine ( circa 1950-55 ? ). Very hot water, the pulsation of the machine and how, once it ' got a go up ' the machine would 'walk' across the smooth terrazzo laundry floor. First thing Monday was laundry day unless the weather was inclement in which case a better day of the week was chosen.
I’m very glad you didn’t go with the segregated bathrooms. 😉
I like your shirts ( are they vintage Pendleton) I have several just like them ?
A lot easier to use than today's washing machines which have a level of complexity that probably isn't needed.
Kinda bourgeois watchin some guys do laundry on a wringer from my living room
A neat old machine though I was hoping for a gas engine Maytag. Even if your life insurance is paid up, I strongly recommend to never touch both a water valve and that machine at the same time. You know at some point in that machine's life it was hooked up to a circuit w/ a penny in the fuse box.
Fancy
I thought the wringer would be a hand Crank
