I have an old iron & it says 1903 on it, but I can't find it online anywhere to see if it's worth anything

My Mother helped her Mom do laundry at a young age in the 1950’s….Her ironing skills are unmatched🫶🏽

My Great Auntie was born in 1925 she raised me. She washed clothes on a washboard in the bathtub until we convinced her to get a washing machine. I promise you the clothes wasn't as clean

Um, I was born in 1987 and used a rippled wash board well into the 90s 😩 My grandmama was queen of “wash it out”

The ORIGINAL neighborhood cleaners!!! 🥰 my great-grandmother used to actually have one of the hand washers in her house! Used to play with it and scratch my hands to make beats on it! 🍉🍉🍉

All i see is my grandmother and my childhood from Jamaica. We handwashed and still do our clothes and hung them. My grandmother's hands look like those ladies. We didn't have the board.
