National Washboard Co Midget Kitchen Sink Washboard No. 442

Description

Antique Midget Washboard
National Washboard Company #442
A very well-used old washday necessity.
This washboard is about 8 1/4" by 17 1/2",
a "midget" size board. It is made of tin,
with a wooden frame. The frame is stamped
on one side with the manufacturer information
and on the other side with the name MIDGET.
The paint is faded, the tin has lost most of its finish,
there's a split in the wood that serves as the backing
to the metal part of the washboard, and the wood
frame has some play in it (although this board is a
survivor and is not in any danger of coming apart).
