Silver King #824 Washboard
Large family-size washboard features tin herringbone "corn row" rubbing surface
Large family-size version of Midget 442, but with spiral herringbone rub surface similar to Zinc King #701 and Brass King #801.
Genuine Vintage Silver King #824 made by National Washboard Co.
Silver King #824 washboards are virtually identical to the popular Zinc King #701 and Brass King 801. The main difference being that Silver Kings (like the pail-size Midget #442) feature a shiny, zinc, or dull rub surface.

Tone
The Silver King #824 washboards in our shop feature three kinds of rub surfaces: Shiny Tin, Zinc Plated, or Dull Tin. All Silver King washboards sound pretty much the same. In our tests with the pail-size Baby Grand, the shiny rub surface had the highest tone, the dull surface had the lowest tone, and zinc was in the middle.
Shiny (higher tone than Zinc King #703)
Zinc (similar to Zinc King #703)
Dull (similar, but lower tone than Zinc King #703)
