Old Relics

This house had some really interesting old things inside:

On the wall in the garage was this old clothes washer.  You would use the handle on the right (best seen in the photo below) to turn the rollers, which would squeeze and clean your clothes.  In the ceiling of the garage was a rotating car wash.

We'll be replacing more than 70 windows.  The only ones staying are the leaded glass accent windows above the picture windows in the dining room.

This old fire hydrant was hanging on the garage wall.  Notice how disintegrated the hose is, it was literally crumbling.

In the ceiling of the garage was this old pulley system.  There were multiple pulleys and a large winch on the ground.

Any idea what type of plug this is?

If you thought it was electrical (like I did) you'd be wrong.  It's an old telephone plug.  These were also in the garage. 

Tucked in an alcove next to the garage door was this handwriting on the wall.

The top says Gasoline (something) 3-2190.  I presume that is a phone number.

The next line says 2 Tires on 75 rear

Then, June 1948 - mileage 49,000

Finally Cutter Tel 5-6310

The seller left behind this very old coffee can that I found in the garage.

This photo didn't come out, but this is an old relay set for the telephone system.

This old safe is built into a cabinet.

The inside has two smaller compartments that are locked with a key and a carpeted floor.
