Antique washboard by L.S.B. in Quebec

Antique washboard by L.S.B. in Quebec.  100-125 years old.  Wood frame with wavy galvanized scrubbing surface.  The frame is painted black.

Size: 23.5” High 11.5” Wide

It is thought that washboards were invented in Scandinavia. Washboards were still in limited use in North America by 1800. In 1833, a US patent was submitted for a washboard with a wooden frame and a piece of fluted tin, sheet iron, copper or zinc. Glass washboards came into use later, by the 1870’s.

This washboard is by L.S.B. Products. It has a wavy fluted metal design which is rare. It was sold by Pariseau Freres Ltee of Outremont (Montreal) Quebec. 

The washboard is $125.  The research is free.

Great decoration for your laundry room or country home. A piece of Quebec history.
