National Washboard Co. Soap Saver

Description I don't know much about this item as I just purchased it. The marks on the back are some what unreadable due to rust and erosion. Across the top it says National Washboard Co. The next line down says No. National 72? (Not sure what the next number is). The next line is the Pat, May (some date) 1901. The next line says Trademarks Reg. U.S. Pat Office Made in U.S.A. The next line says Chicago Saginaw Memphis The frame is made of wood and the soap saver flap and wash board front is made of some type of metal possibly zinc. The soapsaver flap on the front flips down to allow you to put the soap behind it, I think. I am not positive but this is my guess anyway.
