Nice Model 11
Love the Model 11. Mama Deane found one for me a few years ago at a thrift store and picked it up knowing how much I love appliances. I got it all polished up and it sits in the china cabinet in the living room where I can look at it everyday.
How long did it take you to find all the mixers in those kick-ass colors?

Oh, I love the portables in all the colours and the 'power center'!
Did the power center need a 220v hook-up?? I think Westinghouse made one like that...

Yes, it used 220 volts to make four separate 120 volt individually breakered outlets, mine does have a flourescent light, but not a timer, as some had.

Sunbeam square frying pan
I have the exact same one as you have. My mother got it, I think, with trading stamps in the early 60's. Your previous post about the pork chops brought a laugh. My mother would put her pork chops in the Sunbeam for a couple hours until they were dried right out and tough as shoe leather. She was so afraid if the food was not cooked way beyond completion, you would get sick from it.

Sunbeam made such good appliances back in the day. They really lasted! They sure were built for the long run.
I know Sunbeam had a plant on Roosevelt Rd in Chicago where the Coffeemasters and the T-9 toasters were made, did they have any other plants in the U.S. or were all their appliances built there?
I remember during college summer vacation going with a friend to pick up his mother who worked in the data processing area of the Roosevelt Rd factory. It was like stepping back in time to the early 50's. Blonde wood curvy paneled walls, those fluorescent lights with the plastic grids on them that hung down from the ceiling and we asked nicely to see the computer itself and were given a tour of the computer room. I believe it was a IBM 370/125 which I thought was rather small for a company of that size. This would have been around 1971 or so.

Mary Agnes Gooch! We need to call the doctors for you. That looks like Sunbeam nymphomania. What a fabulous collection.
I have a few Sunbeam small appliances.

A Sunbeam Instant coffee/tea maker. It's for all intents just an electric kettle in a coffee perk shape, there is no basket inside and never was. It's quite small as you can see by the can beside it.
These Sunbeam Mixmasters from the 80's are surprisingly quite good. I think this was their first foray into the "Euro" design. It's also much quieter than the standard mixmasters.
