CoinOmatic...In the 1950s you only needed 5 cents to run a washer or dryer.
Size: 36" high x 16" deep. It's larger than it looks in the photos.

I researched vintage Laundromat signs from the 1950s before coming up with the appropriate text to paint. Yep, that’s what I do…sad, but true.

I finally used a piece of rusty chain that's been in my toolbox for 30 years. And to think I almost through it out dozens of times.

The hamper bag will hang from the top dowels.

Check out the wooden stand I built and painted to hold a drawstring cloth hamper bag. I was commissioned to build it so I don't have the actual cloth bag. I based the frame size on dimensions I was given. It's going in a 1950s themed laundry room so the text and colors are typical of what you would have seen during that era.
