Those early Hobart/KitchenAid mixers are just so cool, like smaller versions of equipment that you'd see on a factory floor. You have to appreciate something that was designed and built to last a lifetime and in this case beyond. I'll bet those guys on the History Channel's "American Restoration" could do a wonderful job on one and you'd be left with something that would make a super-statement on your kitchen counter.
unfortunately they don't come cheap, this one's $700.00 on ebay and the shipping would kill you

I'm impressed that the H models can accept the same bowls that fit on modern KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixers. It's hard to come up off-hand with any other machines made today that share the exact same specs (such as, in this case, for bowls and attachments among other mechanicals) as their predecessors from nearly 100 years ago. Even Whirlpool hasn't messed with it. Bravo!
Best of luck to you Anthony. Yours would be both a loving and deserving home for one of those H model behemoths. I fully expect you to find one in great/plug & play shape. You remind me of an old friend of mine who had a knack for finding excellent examples of household machines large and small.

Those mixers used to be sold DTD-the salesman had to lug those machines to prospects homes-kinda like selling DTD vacuum cleaners.
H-5 Stand Mixer
After doing some checking, I was finally able to find out some useful information. The link that showed a picture of the H-5 in a previous message was a web site for a man who used to restore mixers so I contacted him and asked him what it would cost to restore an H-5, he said $1000.00. I recently saw a fully restored H-5 on ebay for $2245.00. We would like to sell ours, and we're offering it for $900.00.

H-5 Stand Mixer
My parents bought it many years ago and I don't know the purchase price. As to placing a dollar amount on an item, there is a saying that goes something like this: an item is worth what a person is willing to pay for it. In other words, supply and demand determines $ value these days.

H-5 Stand Mixer
I have an H-5 as well that I bought at an estate sale 25 years ago. It includes the original bowl, whip, beater, and dough hook. I also have the original owner's manual and it's a hoot. It works well and looks pretty good (repainted in white), but the original bowl needs re-tinning (I use a newer stainless steel bowl) and have the steel/tin one in the garage. The bowl lift handle is also cracked, but it works fine without it. I'd be curious to know its value if anyone has good data.
