The piece is constructed with a wooden frame that supports a corrugated clear glass scrubbing surface. The header board features stenciled branding including the company name, model number, and the brand name National in prominent red block lettering. Smaller stenciling at the bottom of the header board notes trademark information and lists manufacturing locations in Chicago, Saginaw, and Memphis. The reverse side is fitted with a hanging wire.

Condition report:
The washboard is in good vintage condition. The wooden frame displays darkening and surface wear consistent with age and previous use. The stenciled markings remain mostly legible, although some of the smaller black text has faded. The glass insert is intact with no visible cracks or significant chips. Original nails show expected surface oxidation.
