And a BRAND NEW SET
Of my favorite cookware, Late 40s West Bend DeLuxe Flavo Seal.

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

That Flavo-Seal makes me wet! Just amazing finds today, Hans, you do have good luck.
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.

Hans,
Seriously, what is your secret for finding such great treasures? I need some pointers from an expert!

I am so happy you got an Electromatic skillet
I have my Electromatic skillet combo up from the basement to use the Dutch Oven for Matzoh Ball soup. I like to be able to watch the soup to make sure that it does not boil for the first twenty minutes after the dumplings are added as they grow and the glass cover is wonderful for that. With the heat control set between 200 and 225, the heater will cycle on and off a few times while slowly building the temperature back to a simmer and then to a very gentle boil. You cannot get those results in something like an electric Farberware Dutch Oven where the heating element is bonded to the base of the pan. It is one time when thermal mass and its inertia can be very useful for a specific cooking process.
Now you can watch out for rare pieces of the CookMates to use on the heater base.

I picked up two Electromatic Skillets several months ago. I used one of them along with a Cookmates casserole to keep chili warm and found that even at its lowest setting, the chili was bubbling slightly. When using one of these as a warmer, is it better to use regular Corning casseroles rather than Cookmates?

West Bend Flavo Seal ! ! !

Ralph, the thermostat is probably slightly out of calibration, but given that fact, yes, probably a regular piece of Corning Ware on it would reduce the transmission of heat sufficiently to prevent bubbling. The question is whether another piece of Corning of the same capacity would fit within the handles on the base. I don't know if simply removing the knob by loosening the tiny Allen screw at about 325F and slightly repositioning it would solve your problem or if you would have to go in from the bottom. I have no idea if there are any adjustments possible.

The Secret to finding stuff...
Im off two weekends a month, We get Fridays newspapers, Usually from Mocksville, Salisbury and Winston Salem, then we check Estatesales.net and Auctionzip,Then, if there are many sales, I go to several and Don goes to the rest,If just a few we decide which are best then we get up early and are first in line at the door, then, we never lay anything down once we pick it up, you do and you will lose it.

I guess I'll have to be more diligent about reading our local shopper's guides, and checking online as well. With our winter this year, estate sales have been nearly non-existent. Guess I'm just going through withdrawal.
I know what you mean about not setting something down once you have it in your hands.
