About the Item

Washing machine in metal with electric motor which would drive a circular container (which moves the clothes, a "drum"), with a water intake in the lower part to the right and with several valves and levers, in addition to four legs of circular base to better support the ground and avoid, as far as possible, moving the machine when it was in operation. Leonard Ryznar (or Rýznar) was the founder of the company Skrat, which made several models similar to the present, very popular among those who could afford it in certain areas of Europe in the 20th century. As indicated on the device itself, it is the P-7 model, produced around the year 1945. Towards the beginning of the 19th century, several "machines" were developed to wash clothes, made up of a wooden box in which clothes were put and a manually operated system that moved it. Another variant were those that counted on a drum in which the clothes were pressed to drain it. Electric washing machines were not created until the early 20th century (in 1904 these appliances were already announced in the United States, apparently the first in Europe appeared later), becoming a mass device from the late 1940s-early 1950s, and in Western Europe developed into an everyday apparatus starting, circa 1960. Size: 96 x 64 x 82 cms.
