Antique Kilgore Cast Iron Toy Wringer Washing Machine 3pc Set Yellow Pre-War
$45.00 USD
This is a wonderful three-piece miniature antique toy washing machine manufactured by the renowned Kilgore Manufacturing Co. in the late 1920s. Unlike many contemporary toy washers made of tin, this is heavy, solid cast iron. It features the original yellow paint—a key detail for serious Kilgore collectors who prefer original "as-found" condition over restorations.

The set is complete with the tub, the matching lid, and the detachable wringer assembly. The wringer features a working hand crank that rotates the dual rollers. The bottom of the tub is embossed with the number "18," identifying it as an authentic Kilgore mold. This piece is a perfect addition to a high-end dollhouse display or a collection of Early American cast iron toys.
