I've got one now, though, it has a red wood handle on it. <br />Granny Sue, I thought, like me, you were going to slow down. It's hard to do isn't it. I just looked around on the internet, I think it may be called a "stomper." Washing clothes sure was a lot harder in the old days.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-31653054736772741122011-05-05T21:52:01.182-04:002011-05-05T21:52:01.182-04:00Forgot to say...we went to a yard sale too, got a ...Forgot to say...we went to a yard sale too, got a McCoy planter, a bluebird fingerpuppet, a glass apple jug (like vinegar used to come in, I think?), and a couple other things, all for $1.25. Then we went to the Rockport auction and came home with a truckload, literally. Lots of great finds.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-8822433115991931402011-05-05T21:50:27.274-04:002011-05-05T21:50:27.274-04:00Janet, I think it might be called a mangle?

The washtub would have been over a fire and the water, lye soap and clothes brought to a boil. Then this thing would have been used to move the clothes around and kinda stomp them to get the dirt out. That's one suggestion. It could also be a ...can't remember the word...used to strike a froe to split shingles. Whatever it is, it is certainly not a modern-day tool :)Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-9663783247930532222011-05-05T21:31:42.486-04:002011-05-05T21:31:42.486-04:00I checked out your collection of vintage kitchen i...I checked out your collection of vintage kitchen items. They're all really neat. But I saw no egg beaters -- I have a collection of egg beaters hanging in my kitchen. Some came from relatives, some from flea markets, and some from eBay.
