Antique "The Zinc King" / National Washboard Co. No. 701 Washboard

A great old washboard with a story on both sides — one face marked "The Zinc King, Top Notch Soap Saving, Sanitary Front Drain" with the original red and black stenciling still largely intact; flip it over and you've got "National Washboard Co. No. 701, Chicago, Saginaw, Memphis" in bold red and black. The zinc scrubbing surface is corrugated and solid, with some white mineral residue and light surface wear consistent with age and use. The Zinc King side features a built-in wooden soap ledge along the top. Wood frame is sturdy with no breaks. A handsome piece for a primitive or Americana display — the kind that looks right hanging in a farmhouse kitchen. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
