| Commentaires : | In 1868 the New York Times called washboards a great American invention. Yet it is believed that ribbed wooden scrubbing boards originated in Scandinavia and the manufacture spread to other countries during the 19th century. Metal washboards, however, were an American invention. On February 9th 1833, Stephen Rust of Manlius, NY patented a new idea: a Wash Board with a piece of fluted tin, sheet iron, copper or zinc. http://www.oldandinteresting.com/washboards-history.aspx |
