This morning my mom, husband and I are heading back to the estate sale from yesterday because we found out there are two, I SAID TWO, mangles there that are being held for my mom!
This one is in the breakfast nook and there is another one in the basement. It's not known if they are in working order but we are hopeful they are!
I neglected to tell you that after I posted on an estate sale where my mom spied a mangle she desperately wanted to buy (as a back up), her's broke!
I've been on a mission ever since to find her a replacement.
We're hoping for a happy ending today...
The guilt I've been suffering because I talked her out of it has been killing me)
Wish us luck!!

What the heck is a mangle?
Oh...I just looked it up...it rings your clothes out. I did not know people used those still.
Lucky you! I've been looking for a mangle for years (new ones are $2K).
I thought I was the only one left who still irons her sheets!
Don't know what the heck a mangle is but I do hope you get it!!!!
haha no one knows what a mangle is
you're becoming a hoarder
My grandmother had a mangle when I was a kid and I had fun cranking it. Ah memories...good luck on getting your mangles!
Oh I hope she gets it. What a great piece to have to iron all those wonderful linens and some people are so good they can even do shirts. Fingers crossed. Hugs, Marty
yeah i am in the boat of not being cool enough to know what a mangle is! :) someone please explain :)
hope she comes back happy!!
Hello T, thought of you earlier this week when I saw a mangle at a antique store where we stopped on our way South...hope you were successful with today's shopping for mangle(s) xo Colette ~Afrique du Sud
I hope she gets a working one, especially now that I know what it is!
Fingers crossed - and I hope that once she gets it you will make a little video explaining its use, please Terri?
I still don't know what it is.. I must have missed something. hehe
Well good luck!! xxx Julie
Oh...I thought I was the only who didn't know what a mangle was! Good luck to your mom!

Hey Theresa,
My MOM has a MANGLE in her garage and it is very old and all working in great cond.
I so remember my Mom and Grandma and great grandmas running the fresh clothes line bed sheets through it for a beautiful press job.
I hope she finds a great one!
Have a beautiful week girl.
xoxo
