Vintage Lingerie No. 4A Small Wood & Galvanized Metal Washboard | Bogalusa Brand

Add an authentic piece of vintage laundry history to your rustic display with this small "Lingerie" model washboard manufactured by White Wood Products Co. out of Bogalusa, Louisiana. Smaller than standard full-size washboards, "Lingerie" washboards were specifically crafted for washing delicate garments, hosiery, baby clothes, or for use in compact apartment sinks and tubs.

The solid wooden header board features crisp black stenciling with stylized script reading "Lingerie", flanked by "NO. 4A" and the official diamond logo reading "BOGALUSA BRAND - WHITE WOOD PRODUCTS."

The scrubbing surface consists of corrugated galvanized sheet metal set into a sturdy wooden frame with extended side legs. Its compact size makes it exceptionally popular for modern home decor—ideal for hanging on laundry room walls, display shelves, primitive vignettes, or rustic bathroom accents.
