I cant tell you how many times I stood next to my grandma as we took turns cranking that Flint egg beater while I "helped" her prepare whatever food she was making.

My paternal Grandma had an egg beater (not a Flint) with green painted wooden handles. She also had a Chrome Dormeyer stand mixer that my Uncle Joe bought for her. But she never used the Dormeyer, always the egg beater. She used to make the best Strawberry Shortcake for family dinners in the Summer for about 20 people and I remember her making a huge bowl full of whipped cream in a 6 quart crockery bowl with that egg beater. And she used to whip it up pretty fast too. That egg beater was one of her prized possessions that she acquired during the Depression.

<script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>The Elexits are an interesting idea, but they must not have sold well. I didn't know of them until I saw them in a catalog on Building Technology Heritage Library a few days ago.
I like the kitchen in the Congoleum Sealex ad. The blue floor with border is really nice.
My friend Sam recently got an old kitchen table that looks a lot like the one in the ChromCraft ad. It has the gray cracked ice laminate top, and he bought new Richardson chairs in matching vinyl to go with it.
I wish Vitrolite or the similar Carrara Glass was still made - I've always liked the look it gives to a building.
