I'm old, but older than dirt ?? Not so sure about that !! LOL I do remember the water spinkler for the clothes, BUT my Mom must have had the deluxe version. She had a plastic one with a green spinkler cap on it. I used to wonder why would she hang the clothes on the line in the winter, let them freeze, take them off still wet, spinkle them, roll them into a towel and put them in the refrigerator ??? Then iron them in a few days. Must of had too much time on her hands. The clothes certainly smelled good.
