You might also try contacting the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill.

http://www.shakervillageky.org/

If I remember correctly, they have an extensive collection of 'everyday' items that the Shakers used.

 

Good luck!

Subject:  [MUSEUM-L] Need help to ID an object
Date:  Fri, 4 May 2007 13:08:45 -0700

Hello,
  
 
  
I recently came across an object in our storage area that has no record in our database, nor in any other files. All I have to go on is a label stuck (yikes!) to the object that says "Shaker Washing Machine".  Does anyone know of any sources out there on the web where I might go to help verify this information?
  
 
  
Any help would be appreciated. I have photos and can send them off list if anyone wants a better look. Thank you!
