Sunbeam mixer estate sale find.

[redcarpetdrew]

It was in a smaller house. Pretty much pawed thru but I found this on the counter under a towel. I thought it looked pretty neat and got it for a song. I did some preliminary cleanup and tried it out. Works pretty good. I love the glass bowl. Does anyone have an idea on how old this is? The number stamped on the side is: N726682

It came with a juicer setup. Again, I love the glass bowl.

The recipe book was also with it. I like how pretty much all the women on the cover are pictured like the all American mom or grandmother.

The lady at the sale said her mother baked up a ton and she remembers this mixer always in use. One would think that such memories would encourage her to keep it but I guess you can only keep so much...

Look underneath the base. On mine (which I also got at an estate sale for $15) there is an embossing that states what model it is (as I recall, mine is a Model 11).

PS-After all these years you might want to open up the front and clean/lube the gears.

Also, there are websites with service instructions. As I recall, I used Google or links provided by other members here to find them.

Lastly, would you be willing to scan that owner's manual and upload it here? Mine came with a large bowl, small bowl, and the juicer attachment, but no manual...

Mid to late 1940s, looks like the one my mom got either aws a wedding present (1944 but WWII going on???) or a bit later.

Here's a link on hot to oil an old one of these.

Model 7 or 9

That will be a really nice Mixmaster after a little cleaning. The decal is still in good shape. The Model 7 was introduced 4/41, discontinued for the duration of the war, and available again in 1946. The Model 9 came out 8/48 and ran until 1950. This would be an early Model 9, as the decal style was changed during this model run. My Mom had this style mixer; she got it from my Dad's Uncle after his Aunt passed away. Unfortunately she sold it at a yard sale after I bought her a new Sears mixer for Christmas. Pics available on the link.

According to the base, this is a model 7B.

Rich, I scanned and am posting the manual in a separate thread. Talk about a lot of info. Includes lubing info. I had no idea there were SO many attachments!

I took my own advice and checked under the base of my Sunbeam.

I had to pull one of the screws, but it's a model 9, not a model 11. I had forgotten...

I went back today after I saw that there was a strainer and smaller bowl that I didn't get but of course there was nobody there. I left a note but am not too hopefull...
