Mint Osterizer

[Unimatic1140]

I found this mint Osterizer Blender at the estate sales today, but what was so unusual about this is ... (next post down please)

 

[Unimatic1140]

was it also came with a metal jar, I've never seen this before. Maybe for making Root Beer Floats??? All three pieces were $2 which I thought was outrageous, but they wouldn't come down to a $1. Oh well.

Neat find!

Have a vintage "beehive" blender as well, but my jar is the heavy glass type. You can't kill em! Base is heavy, soild and built to last!

So what time are the root beer floats?

Very cool! These are wonderful blenders. They've offered a metal container for many years, hard telling if the owner bought it separately or if at some point they sold them as a set. The ones they made for bar/commercial use always had metal containers.

 

[Unimatic1140]

Darn Scott, here I was hoping you would say, OMG that's the rare metal container, it's legendary! LOL. Thanks for the info.

Laundress what time should I pick you up at the airport for Root Beer Floats? Or would you prefer that I just Zap you here.

Ooooh, that's very nice - it's fun to find them in nice condition. I saw a similar blender last week at a sale but they wanted $24 - highway robbery!

Very deluxe...That metal jar is one of the early models, they later switched to a round milk shake maker styles on the commercials. The SS jars have always been available thru mail order just that no one ever seemed to order one for home use.

I have a Waring blender with a metal container, but it is round. Nice buy, Robert!

Robert - that's a beautiful find. I have a newer (2000) Osterizer Beehive blender with the heavy glass jar...fantastic blenders...and so stylish. And it weighs a ton.

Will it blend?

Now throw some glass marbles in there and see if it will blend.

(ducks and runs)

Beautiful blender Robert!

I've never seen the square metal container before, thats very cool!

 

[bobofhollywood]

too close to the sink~

I hope you checked it for ground faults~ Don't touch the sink and the blendor at the same time anyway just to be on the safe side~. Just kidding (but not really)..hehehe.

Sure is a beauty. Lovely photo with the glistening light.
The price was a total giveaway.

Are the blades any different between the two bowls?

[Unimatic1140]

Yes Bob there is no electrical leakage, I check it by taking it into the tub with me

Anyway, the blades are exactly the same between the two containers.

 

[hoover1060]

Nothing to laugh at but...

Osterizers have been known to give you a good ZAP if the base gets wet when blending...
Make sure you are extra careful in the tub Robert!

Very nice blender! I love the chrome container, great find.

BTW, wasn't there a Columbo in which the victim died because somebody threw an electric handmixer into the bathtub?

Robert,
In all my years of collecting, in the time I worked at a Sunbeam authorized repair shop, I never saw, nor did I ever know there was a square, stainless beaker for the Oster blender. I checked with Al, who was the store mamanger and he said he had heard of them, but had never seen one. They may be washing up on the beach in California, but I was gob smacked to learn it even existed.

Perfect now that's want I wanted to hear! LOL. Thank you Kelly you are a sweatheart.

Beaker, now that's a word you don't hear often unless you watch Keeping up Appearances, Beaker Elizabeth?

Congratulations, what a beautiful vintage Oster, and that metal jar is fab! Definitely enhances the Deco look if you ask me.

And $2 was an absolute steal! I paid more for a much later (70's) Osterizer Imperial in Omaha...
