Saved from the scrapyard

[goatfarmer]

Took a load of appliances to the scrapyard Tuesday. When I backed up to the pile, got out, and looked down, this was laying there. I couldn't condemn it to death, so it came home with me!

Someone cut the cord on this fine GE mixer. Anyone care to date it? Only numbers I see are a catalogue number 149M8

Makes a nice display, by the Sunbeam blender, and the pank Sunbeam mixer.

Nice mixer, glad you saved it. Are you going to put a new cord on it, or just display it?

 

[goatfarmer]

Probably just a display.

It looks like it's from the 40's.

Dare we ask what was taken to the scrap yard?

GE

The very first model was 1936. It changed over the next 13 years in color, wattage, speeds, escuscheon and circumference of motor. In 1950 GE changed to a more traditional positioning of the motor with a gray knob in front. The earliest model had clear glass bowls and a silver speed control. The red knob came in the 40's.

Newer GE 'fridge, late 70's GE electric stove, mid 70's WP gas dryer, a snowblower, and other scrap iron.....

This one has a dark red knob on it, I should have looked closer for the turntable.

Whew, that was close.

Any Turntable in a Storm

Any GE turntable will fit. I switch mine out with a Sunbeam turntable and use a Sunbeam bowl with the three beaters. It works better than the original GE bowl because it fits closer to the beaters.

Nothing vintage, Dan, unless you count the Gilson snowblower!
