This is an antique National Washboard Co. No. 801 washboard, likely produced in the early to mid-20th century in the USA. It features a wooden frame and a ribbed glass scrubbing surface, typical of washboards from this period, with faded branding visible on the top panel. The washboard shows signs of age and use, including wear to the wood and some discoloration, but remains structurally intact. Once a staple household tool before electric washing machines, it is now sought after by collectors of vintage laundry equipment and primitives.
