I have a model 41 wood tub washing machine serial number 3274. This is an electric model and the motor and the fiber gear are missing. The wood is very nice for the age and still solid with nice wood grain. I believe these were made with cypress wood which would explain the reason why they last. There is still some remnants of the original gold paint on the gear assembly and the legs and gears. This is in original condition and everything in the pictures is all original including the decals. Between 1911 and 1925 the model 41 and the model 42 were produced simultaneously and serial numbered in sequence so the exact amount of these is unclear. The serial number is 3274 and is stamped into the right front leg. I could not get a picture of the 4 because it is behind the steel leg but I did get the 327. The wooden agitator is loose on the arbor and is worn badly so I assume this worked hard and reliable. The middle steel band had rusted in two right beneath the wringer but is still there and the very bottom band is rusted also right beneath the wringer but is still intact. This area would have seen a lot of water and moisture and that being the reason for the corrosion in that area. I believe the band could be repaired if needed and the nails are still in the place where the band belonged. I found this at a century old estate sale in Minnesota, 3 hours north of Newton Iowa where it all began. I live about 3 hours from Newton Iowa and I can find some neat stuff from Maytag but I rarely find anything this early. A true survivor and maybe one of the last to be found.
