Bloggers are just the best people in the whole world. Remember when I showed you my antique “washing machine”. Well, Rose of Second Hand Rose saw it and commented that these were called a “Dolly” in Canada, ( she sent an email reminding me she is really in the UK, so sorry for the error ) and she could remember her mom using one. She found this article and sent it to me. Isn’t it just the neatest thing.

The dolly tub was filled with hot water for washing the clothes. The tub was originally made from wood but galvanised steel became popular because it was lighter and therefore easier to empty. The dolly tub needed to be filled and emptied many times on washday. Now I know the official name for my “washer” . Thanks tons Rose, this was so fun to read about.
