The Haul of Champions!

Hans, I swear you find the best examples of so many different items! 

 

I recently saw the white HB Mixette version of that mixer at Savers, but it didn't have its beaters so I passed.

 

The GE clock is a 7-day alarm model.  I don't know anything about how you set it.

 

The Kenmore roaster is really sharp looking.  Nice clean lines.  So many of these roasters rarely or never got used, yet their accessories did.  It's rare to find one with all of its interior parts.

 

And you're packing up the house when?  :-D
 
Great shopping, Hans!

In the late 50s-early 60s, the appliance department at Richs had pieces of the Flavo Seal very beautifully painted a salmon color to place on ranges. Each of the pieces had a hole drilled in the exact center center of the base. I don't think I knew the type of cookware until tonight. Thank you. How could it have gone over half a century without being used? That is the nice, middle weight aluminum that all of the electric range manuals recommended.

I have the complete HB Mixette in white. It was in something called a Puritron Working Wall in our house. There was a can opener that folded down and rarely worked properly before completely ceasing to function. Behind a nice walnut-grained metal door was the HB mixer and electric knife that we used once on the turkey the first Thanksgiving in the house which resulted in so much smoke in the dining room, we almost had to leave the table and the bird was not tough. Maybe it would have sliced bread, but it was a failure on turkey breast. Underneath the mixer and knife was a compartment that held the cords. I have never seen it in such a shocking orange. I remember Crock Pots in orange, but can't think of anything else we had in our department in orange although I have seen Rival hot pots and plastic perks in more of a reddish orange.

The light on the Kenmore roaster reminds me of how things lit up when the space ship came over the house in Close Encounters. Spielburg could have used that and really had a very frightening bright red light in the kitchen.
 
Very NICE finds....

the west bend "Flavorseal" cookware is fabulous!!! Is it early 1940's? Something about it just says "art deco". Very nice indeed. arthur
