Let's have a hand mixer thread...

Fred:

I really like that white GE in your first pic - styling doesn't get much more 1958 than that.

The white 70s GE variable speed mixer with the drink mixer was also offered in the GE-Universal gift line for one year in the early 70s in harvest. In addition to what comes with your mixer, this one also has a set of black nylon beaters for use in non-stick cookware. Of course, they also prevent scratching of other inner surfaces so I use them more than the metal beaters.

I have the turquoise GE mixer with the Thunderbird lines with the knife sharpener, but the sharpener is white.

Tom:

If the turquoise one has "Thunderbird lines," the white one seems to have been styled by someone who had seen the drawings for the Studebaker Lark, LOL!

Here is one of my hand mixers, a new Penncrest which is obviously a Sunbeam rebadge

Fred, that first, white GE mixer is the one we had when I was growing up. Mom got it for her wedding shower in 1957.

Here's a few of Paul's

I have two of those General Electric Mixers. Both were MIB purchases.
The one on the left is the portable we use. The GE on the right is a spare.
The DORMEY is too cute to use. I love the wings it has.
I've seen ads for the GE mixers circa about 1958 and thereabouts. Considering the pleasing and functional design I bet it had a long production run.

Ooh, yay! The White GE is a bit earlier than I suspected. The turquoise one really is turquoise, but I admit I think it yellowed a bit over the years, and appears darker or more "green" than turquoise. In person it's less noticible, I think.

Beautiful mixers everyone!

Love the Hoover mixer, naturally. The Penncrest is super cool as well with the little stars on the front. Ugh, Paul - NIB is the best... That turquoise Dormy is dreamy! The pink Bosch is very cool - never seen anything like it. I've also never seen anything like the Iona. Very utilitarian... And yes, Hans does have everything!!

Numerous here as well though not quite as many as Hans.
A pink and gold Sunbeam shown with it's Value Village price . Stickers probably still on it LOL

I like how the beaters store in the back of these

Quite the collection Petek

I totally enjoy the super-wide variety of designs! Let's hear it for stylistic creativity (which seems to be lacking in anything modern nowadays...)

Fred is that Palm Springs?

Is that not the same spot where I am holding on for dear life as I am afraid of heights?

 

[tomturbomatic]

I found a chrome Sunbeam at an estate sale that was in the kitchen so it must have been used, yet it was stored in its box in the pantry so I have the mixer & box if not MIB.

Sandy, like the Lark comment. I can see it, too.

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Yep! That certainly is Palm Springs! It was totally awesome going up that mountain!

Dormeyer dominates chez nous...

I had to jump in on this one...

Here's the 1964 Dormeyer three-speed hand mixer that I use in the apartment in Montreal (with proof of use - Apricot upside-down cake and corn bread served for a small dinner party on Tuesday)

 

[turquoisedude]

I love the eject position on this one.

 

[turquoisedude]

Since we moved to Ogden in '07, this turquoise 62 Dormeyer has been the daily driver. It was the first hand mixer I found in the dozens of boxes that contained the mixer collection... LOL

 

[turquoisedude]

And in reserve...

Here's one of the shelves currently housing the hand mixer collection in the loft above the garage. Lots of backup, if I need it... LOL
