 Here we have a Very rare and wonderful, original 1875 United States Patent Office Model being a finely crafted, diminutive model of an American Industrial Era Washing Machine on legs. This fantastic, hand made Mechanical Washing Machine measures approx. 9 1/4" tall and 10 1/4" by 8 1/4" at the base. It is an exact representation of an improved Washing Machine that was patented in 1875. The Model is made of Wood, tin and brass with precision machined brass gears and handle, intricately ribbed tin tub and wooden outer housing / structure.

  Offered here is the original Patent Model of this outstanding Washing Machine with its ingeniously designed "scrubbers" (the bristled paddle used to agitate the clothes inside the machine) and the corresponding, ribbed surface of the inside of the Tub. See the enlargeable images above and below along with the Patent drawings for a glimpse at the structure and function of this fantastic Washing Machine.

  The outstanding Patent Model of this finely crafted Washing Machine that is offered here was actually the original Patent Model - submitted to the US Patent Office by the inventor Peter Lieber of Indianapolis, Indiana. It came to us with the original Patent Office Tag and a copy of the original Patent Document dated September 9th, 1875. The invention was issued Patent Number 169,111. This wonderful, hand made Patent Model was submitted to the U. S. Patent Office as part of the patent process prescribed by law.

  This simply fantastic and finely crafted Model of a Mechanical Washing Machine is 100% original and has not been restored, repaired or altered in any way. Overall the Machine is in very good condition - sound, intact and near complete. The Model lacks one of its four wooden "legs" but is otherwise complete and exceptionally well preserved. One of the two hinges that attach the top of the tub is unattached but this is the only other damage to the Machine. Overall this outstanding and finely crafted Patent Model is very attractive and displays beautifully.

  This wonderful, 1875 Patent Model is 100% guaranteed to be the original Model that was submitted to the United States Patent Office as part of the Patent Application process. We have included a copy of the original Patent Papers as further documentation of this simply wonderful Patent Model.

  A very rare and wonderful, 1875 Mechanical Washing Machine Patent Model and a fantastic addition to any collection!!
