Genuine Vintage Kitchenette made by Home Crest
Kitchenette washboards are virtually identical to the Midget #442 washboard with a shiny rub surface.
Tone
The Midget #442 washboards in our shop feature three kinds of rubbing surfaces: Shiny Tin, Dull Tin, and Dark Tin. All Midget #442 washboards sound pretty much the same. In our tests the shiny rub surface had the highest tone. So although there is not much discernable difference, you can expect a Kitchenette washboard to have a relatively higher tone.
