antique hand washing agitators

[tomn53]

I have two hand washing agitators and a wash board . What would their value be and is there a dealer in the cleveland area.

You'll need to post photos so that the condition can be assessed. Wash boards are pretty easy to determine a value by looking at what they are going for on Ebay. They vary, depending upon if you have a glass or metal washboard, if there is any advertising on it etc. This sampling on Ebay should give you a good idea:

People are ''Finicky when it comes to Buying, wash board's. they should not be loose or shakey.lettering should be clear etc.

Do your agitators look like this one?   http://www.usedwinnipeg.com/classified-ad/9931717

Tales & D&b have given good advice!  Condition, condition, condition.

Now the agitators are less seen and bear some looking into!

There's one on Ebay going for a few dollars more...

After seeing this I'll never complain about doing the laundry again.
Must of been quite a time workin it with muscle power standing over steaming hot water.
Really gives you an appreciation for the labor these generations used to go through just for day to day life.
Reflecting on this situation it seems were getting pretty soft and lazy in this modern age.

Here is a picture of a gasoline powered "agitator" similar to the one I remember my Mother using when I was young. But it didn't completely prevent having to stand over steaming hot water.
