And New in the Box.
Oh, Enjoy that Mixer. Good Find, and Great Idea to stop by Old Hardware Stores as they used to sell these gems.

GRRRR!! That Came Out Wrong!
Hans:
My apologies for being rather abrupt on my two word inquiry in asking the price for that great looking mixer.
No matter what it was, you definitely got a very good and worthwhile deal.

Good Lord!
You did make out like a bandit! The person selling it to you could have charged some excessive exorbitant amount. It's nice to know there are still thoughtful and fair people in this world.
Don't forget to display pictures of it's maiden voyage.

Yes this Mixmaster has a large bowl that holds 3.5 qts. Designed for thorough mixing with the "full-mix" beaters that come with this mixer. The beaters spin in the opposite direction of most mixers. This model was Sunbeam's response to having a portable mixer with stand mixer power. It was to compete against GE's model 25 that debuted 1957. The governor is not as durable as that which was used previous Mixmasters.

You are such a lucky (or is it persistent?) man! My Grandma Agnes had that model, and she loved it dearly. Do please let us know what its maiden "spin" is!

So what is the story behind it? Was/is the store having a going out of business sale, or having an auction?

Incredible. I'd have been as giddy as a schoolgirl finding that.
How neat!
I found that hardware stores, before the chains took over, were often great places to find old housewares because the men running them sort of allowed older stock to migrate to the back of shelves where it waited to be found by me. I found my Sunbeam electric skillet that way in Frager's Hardware on Pennsylvania Ave, SE. After I found the skillet, I drove to a hardware store on Route 7, not far from Tyson's Corner where I had seen the glass lid maybe three years earlier. It was still there so I bought it. I found an out of the box, but undamaged Presto model 60 4 qt. stamped aluminum cooker at Cook's Hardware store in Laurel. At a hardware store in Falls Church, I found the break-apart 5,10&15 lb Presto weight that made using their canners so much easier. Got one for a friend also. I found the very first Flameware pans at Fragers and the last style Flameware saucepans at various hardware stores. One of the neatest finds was the CorningWare Electromatic skillet and dutch oven, MIB at Shamrock Hardware in the shopping center at the corner of Lawrenceville HWY and North Druid Hills Rd in Decatur. Smith Hardware in Decatur was a treasure trove of abandoned housewares, too, and many hardware stores had forgotten Cory bowls. I found the little 2-4 cup Pyrex vacuum coffee maker called The Miser in a hardware store near our house in the 70s. Every time I would spot a hardware store, I would go in to check the inventory. That's the way I found the long discontinued Corning Ware 2.5 qt double boiler in a little town in VA in the 80s.
Whenever I spot one of these stores, I always express my admiration upon entering that they are still an independent store and that I would like to look around.

Hans - that is a piece for a museum! It's hard to imagine that there are still items like that around, but you never know what you'll find in an old hardware store.
Congrats on this spectacular Mixmaster! Be sure to fill out the warranty card and send it in to Sunbeam ;-)
