the mangle

Anyone else remember one of these? They did a great job of removing the water

Great shot - these were such efficent devices. I've always thought I'd like a nicely restored one for an ornament..

Interesting. One of my grandmothers had one of these. Haven’t seen one in many decades.

they did, but pretty hard on the clothing - I even had a toy one for my dolls clothes lol

One of my uncles bought my aunt a mangle but it didn't look anything like this. It reminded me of a dry cleaning pressing machine. I don't think my aunt liked it that much. I don't recall ever seeing her use it.
