Ah, should have taken more notice at the middle section.

Just looks like something i saw on a farm with metal troughs full of feed.

On the top middle part the wringer would be attached !! Wash/rinse in one side, wring out and place clean items in next bin and they are ready for clothes line !!

The deluxe models even had a built-in wringer.

I once bought a salesman sample at a doll auction in Kansas City...cutest lil' thing I've seen. ;)
