I know I'm taking the easy way out, but does anyone know anything about the BOSS Washing Machine Co.? We have one of the machines in our collection. It's wood with wood agitators and metal gears. A similar machine appears in Sears 1908 catalog but made by Curtis. The wood base is elongated, vs. the round wooden tubs made in the early 20th century. Also, has anyone heard of ACME washing machine company? I'm not making this up. It's a square galvanized tin tub 20" x 22" with a wood cover and wood agitator. Any references also appreciated. Thanks. Mary Ames Sheret Curator of Collections Southern Oregon Historical Society
