Antique Rapid Washer Hand Laundry Plunger/Agitator C.T. Childers Cop R Loy

Description

Antique "Rapid Washer" "Cop-R-Loy" Hand Laundry Agitator by C.T. Childers Galesburg IL.
The antique Rapid Washer hand laundry agitator or "posser" (also known as a dolly, dolly legs, peggy, posher or plunger) was used to agitate laundry in a tub. The device could pound on the textiles or stir them.  The earliest known reference to the "posser" is from the early 1600’s.  Use of the posser began to fade after the advent of the washboard in 1797.
This piece is intact and complete with nothing loose or broken.  The handle is in time-weathered good condition with no breaks, cracks, or splits.  The metal agitator shows signs of use and surface rust, with no damage to the structural integrity of the metal.  **Please See Photos for Condition**
This C.T Childers Rapid Washer is a great piece for collectors of antique and vintage items, and perfect for those who are looking for a unique and rare antique item that has a lot of history behind it.  A great addition to any collection.
