Some kitchen items in my collection

[fan-of-fans]

Here are some items I have that are kind of vintage. I hope to collect more. A thrift store has a Sunbeam avocado hand mixer in the box that looks new, I might get it sometime. I wouldn't mind a vintage blender and toaster also.

BTW, the Waring mixer came from my mom and I know the bowl is not original. I'm not sure what it goes to actually. I may have the actual bowl for the Waring.

The green/blue handled eggbeater says Edlund on it and the brown handled is Maid of Honor.

Braun stuff, Cole!

If you didn't see my comment in the other posting you'd made, I have TONS of Aromasters--I know you'd said you might need some parts. I've got two in black identical to your white one, at least 3 white ones, a few 12 cup models and a pair of the hard-to-find 4-cup Aromaster Jr. machines. Plenty of spare baskets, carafes, brew pause lever mechanisms, etc…! All my stuff is NICE….barely broken in, really, so no issues with dirt, grot, brittleness or discoloration…

An old Hotpoint bowl maybe??

 

<span style="font-family: courier new,courier;">That looks like it could be an old Hotpoint mixer bowl.  The small one.  This would be the model mixer that has the two beaters connected together. </span>

Mixer Bowl and Waring mixer

The white mixer bowl is the one used with Hamilton Beach Model probably made of Pyrex glass. Is there any printed info on the bottom of the bowl?

Waring made three mixers that look like the one you have--do you have the 3, 6 or 12 speed model. These mixers use a tapped field and resistors to provide the speed setting. Don't expect the mixer to handle much beyond mixing cake mix, whipping cream, or egg whites. Power and endurance are something this mixer lasts. It was cheaply made and failed endurance tests back when Consumer Reports still had credibility. The original bowl was clear, had a rounded bottom, and held about 2 1/2 qts. If it has sentimental value, better it not be used if you are an avid baker.

Thank you Russell

 

<span style="font-family: courier new,courier;">I know I said Hotpoint but meant Hamilton Beach with those crazy beaters that are connected together.  My Aunt had one.  As I typed and submitted Hotpoint I kept thinking something just didn't look right.  It's really hell getting old!!!</span>

 

<span style="font-family: courier new,courier;">Wait!!  I guess I'm already there.  </span>

Hotpoint/GE mixers

Early GE/ Hotpoint mixers did have one piece beater units like the early Hamilton Beach mixers. Their shapes and connection mechanisms were different. The bowls were of similar shape. GE bowls had rows of ridges along the outside of the bowls in both white and clear glass. GE had their logo stamped in the center bottom under the bowl. Color available were clear, white, cream and jadite depending on the color/model of mixer purchased.

Hamilton Beach Pyrex bowls had three bands about an inch below the rim around the outside of the bowl. Early HB bowls had rounded rim, not bands or ridges and were not heat resistant. The early bowls were either, white, custard or clear. I have never come across a HB with one of the clear bowls. I found a clear bowl stamped with the Hamilton Beach name on it.

The white bowl says nothing on the bottom other than 2.

The Waring is a 6 speeder. It did feel a little light, though I was surprised it is made so cheaply.

Are the plastic Sunbeam Mixmasters better? One thrift store here has an avocado one, looks like new still in the box with instructions for $5. I have also seen a few of the white and black Sunbeams Mixmaster hand mixers that you push the front in to remove the beaters. I'd guess late 60s or early 70s on those. The store with the avocado one had one of those too.

Sunbeam Hand Mixers

The hand mixer you describe is the bottom of the line, it is a better choice than the Waring. During their production there were 3 and 5 speed models all having 100 watt rated motors. Finding one with a 130 or 150 watt motor and 12 speeds can handle mixing an occasional batch of cookies using a wide bowl. GE made a 10 speed hand mixer rated 100 watts that handled cookie dough well, but was noisy and slower at whipping egg whites.
