I was at one of my usual haunts checking out the appliances and wandered around afterwards. I saw this...
Spotted while thrifting... Several neat things...

The tag. Any ideas on age?

What's more fun than one?
Sitting right next to it was this one... Newer?

Saw this Mixer. A Model K. Missing the beaters, bowl and bowl support.

Close up. How does this compare to my Sunbeam model 7B?

I though I was going to join a new club: The Mixmasters but saw it was a cheap thing. ALL plastic through out (and I mean ALL...) and missing the beater. I'll wait until something else older and nicer shows up...

oooo lovely.
The "Push For Release" is a nice feature. I'm used to "Pull for Release".

I don't know how it compares to the Sunbeam, but that Hamilton Beach was our house mixer growing up and it did a fine job. Nothing like a KitchenAid, but the cakes got mixed.

Hey Drew,
According to the US Patent Office website, the patent on the green machine's badge was issued in 1932. So, it was manufactured in or after 1932.
The link is for the chart of patent numbers. It gives the first patent for each year, so it's helpful to have as a reference!

Don't know about the ironers, but the Hamilton Beach model K mixer is a good one. It's very similar to my Sears CounterCraft, and is from the 70's - 80's. I bought mine as a Christmas gift for my Mom around '82 or so. This was the heavy-duty model, as HB also had a cheaper plastic body stand mixer that didn't hold up real well.
As for that HB drink mixer, that's a recent "household use only" copy of their famous malt machine. Probably wouldn't last 2 days in a diner. I saw one in a store, and thought why would Hamilton Beach stoop so low? Like you said, all plastic. Wouldn't take much to knock it over. If I get a malt machine, it will be either a vintage one, or a modern HB commercial model which are much better made.

I have beaters and turntable for you if you'd like. If the model you have has two small holes by the front of the handle and at the rear of the handle you've hit pay dirt. They are ports for oiling. The newer self lubricating run hotter and have a hard time hitting the upper speeds. The beaters excell at creaming and whipping. The movable turntable on the slide lets you move the bowl from the edge to the center to get it all mixed. Down sides are that heavy batters push the beaters away from the edge of the bowl so you need to lean on the bowl adjust and the Hamilton is a touch less powerful than the Sunbeam. All in all they are a good mixer.

Cool Ironrites! I've got a Whirlpool model that's probably from the early '50s, and looks similar to that white Ironrite. Getting ready to find it a new home, in fact, because I don't have room for it. Kinda bums me out.
