 or Sign In to see what it's worth.
You are bidding on a rare Mother Hubbard's patent roller washboard. This board is in good condition. T are signs of use, however t is no significant damage. Just normal wear that would have been associated with everyday use. The rollers all roll freely and easily and are all intact. T are small light cracks on some of the rollers, but again this is normal condition for what is probably hundred year old wood. The bottom row of rollers is not completly round (see picture). This appears to me to be normal, though I am not positive. This washboard measures 12.25 inches wide and 22.25 inches tall. Text on the top of the washboard reads: Directions : 1-Place Tub Hight Enough For Operator To Stand Erect. Back aches are unnecessary. 2-Place Hands Flat, Palms Down. The weight of the arms, hands, and clothes will do the washing. No more cut, bruised, skinned knuckles. The Rollers Do the Rubbing 3-Rub soap cross-wise on rollers filling the grooves . This saves soap and creates a lather under the clothes w it is most needed. 4. Souse the clothes in the water more often that by the old method, as rinsing removes the dirt loosened by the rollers. The right and left hand screws or threads bend and open the meshes of the cloth which is the real operation of washing clothes, thus allowing the water to take away the loosened dirt and cleanse the garments. T being no back the water easily takes the dirt right to the bottom of the tub. Chipped or wabbly rollers are not a defect, the finest silks can be washed without injury The only board made that can be repaired. Distributors and agents wanted everyw Board should be hung up in cool dry place when not in use Mother Hubbard Incorporated Mendota, Illinois Patentee and Sole Manufacturer Some of the text has worn away, but most of it is still readable. The text differs slightly from some other versions of the same board that I have seen. Notably, t is no price recomendation and the addition of the words distributors and agents watned everyw This, along with the wooden board accross the fron lead me to believe that this is an earlier version of the already rare Mother Hubbard roller washboard. This is very nice piece! Please ask any and all questions. Lucky winner will pay actual shipping to USA only. Paypal is preferred, but cash, checks and money orders are accepted. Thanks for looking and good luck!
