National Washboard Co. No.182 “VIM” Galvanized Washboard, c.1915
This early 20th-century galvanized washboard by the National Washboard Co., model No. 182, features the desirable “VIM” embossed panel and a patent date of Sept. 7, 1915. The top metal plate displays the company’s classic tri-city marking—Chicago, Saginaw, Memphis—while the lower section retains its textured galvanized scrubbing surface. Framed in solid wood with a warm aged tone, it offers both historical charm and durable construction. Ideal for collectors of Americana, farmhouse décor enthusiasts, or musicians seeking an authentic vintage board, this piece captures the character of an everyday household tool from the period.
A strong example with appealing patina, it presents beautifully as wall décor or as an addition to a vintage laundry-themed vignette.
