The hand-operated washing machine consists of a metal, sheet metal part in the shape of a square trough in which a washing drum and water are placed. Below is an iron, black box in which the firewood is heated and thus the water is heated, which is poured into the tin part with the drum. In the third tin part, inside of which there is a gutter for separating smoke, there is a fountain for draining dirty water during washing. The drum rotates with a larger handle with a wooden handle. The number "2" is convex on the cover on one side in a stylized ellipse. On the board below the number is the inscription: "J.A. John AKTIEN- GESELLSCHAFT WIEN". The washing machine was made in Vienna (Wien) at the beginning of the 20th century. Machines of this type were sold in grocery stores. The washing machine was owned by Đuro Beba, who had a grocery store in Pancevo, from 1910 to 1950.
