What is a wash boiler?
Added/modified by: Mark Awakuni-Swetland on 8/17/11, 9:30 PM
Solution:
This seems to describe the metal container used to heat water for washing clothes, and/of 'boiling' clothes. The reference to a 'nexe ska' or white kettle may describe the lighter color of a galvanized pot or white enameled pot placed directly over the fire or on the stove top used for this purpose
