This is an ole-timey wringer-washer. My mother used it many years to do our family’s laundry. It sure was a good one, and used a lot for nine kids and my parents. When it wore out I got it to make a flower planter, I filled it up halfway with drink bottles. Then I finished filling it with dirt and planted wave petunias. It sure was pretty and made a good conversation piece. I love my vegetable garden, but also love my flowers, too.
