not a scratch anywhere but the bearing in the cup whails like a dry whore!
Does anybody know if these were made by Waring or Oster for IONA. It says Conn. and the wagonwheel drive looks like a Waring and the glass looks like a 3 lobed version of the Waring 4 lobe.
400 WATTS!

I think Iona made all of their own appliances. They were a Canadian company but had a plant in Conn as well. It was IONA who brought out the Fantom vacuum, Dyson had worked for them in Canada, now whether he designed it for them or not I don't know. But anyways, it took off and the company name was changed to Fantom Industries. Dyson also took off I guess and started making the Dyson vacuums, Something like that anyways.
So Pete
do you think there might be a parts supplier in Canada today?

Iona Appliances
Iona Appliances made inexpensive (budget) appliances during the late 1950s and the 1970s. One attempt I know of they tried to upscaling, offering a multispeed mixer using SCR technolorgy instead of a governor, to control motor speed. It had a lighted seed control dial and speed guide printed on the handle. A nice stand with bowl adjustment at the top of the neck of the stand. Two glass straight sided mixing bowls similar to that used by Sunbeam. The motor had chrome trim and have seen them in white (white bowls) and avocado (clear bowls) colors. The mixer alone was also sold as a portable model. All have surfaced for re-sale on ebay. The did make a portable 3 speed mixer during the mid 1960s that received a high rating by Consumer Reports.
Their blenders resemble Waring in having a similar clover design to the "pitcher" Iona having three "lobes" and Waring having four.

I Own a Iona!!!!
What a beauty . . .
I don't own an Iona, but after seeing the booklet above I wish I did as it would undoubtedly advance my own ever so slow progression toward gracious living.
One wonders if Del Shore, writer of "Southern Baptist Sissies", owns an Iona; one of the prime characters in the play is none other than Iona Traylor, and she certainly would aspire to own an Iona.

Here's one of their last mixers from the 70's already very cheap and thin plastic but still made in Canada. This one I found NIB. The early stuff was budget but it was still well made and metal, then came the plastic, then the made in Asia
Much like this Waring blender from the 70's, their Nova series, what once were nice metal machines turned into this...very cheaply made. They even put out some worse ones than this akin to the Durabrand stuff at Walmart but then I guess Waring wised up and most of their stuff today is back to being better quality.
Oh Terry
