Vintage Miniature Wringer Washer Sugar Canister/Dispenser

This item is a novelty kitchen canister designed to resemble a mid-century electric wringer washing machine. The piece is constructed primarily of molded hard plastic with a vibrant red cylindrical base and off-white/cream-colored accents. The lid features the word 'Sugar' embossed in an elegant, stylized cursive script. A prominent feature is the attached miniature wringer assembly on top, which includes two white horizontal rollers and a red manual hand-turn lever. The base is supported by three integrated flared legs. In terms of condition, the plastic appears well-preserved with a glossy finish, though there are minor signs of surface dust and light age-related wear typical of vintage kitchenware. Based on the material and design, this piece likely dates to the 1950s or 1960s, a period when novelty household items of this style were popular. The craftsmanship shows clean mold lines, indicative of mass production from the mid-20th century. Although not visible in the primary image, the user-noted Bible verse provides a unique religious or sentimental personalization element common in domestic sets of that era.
