Thats a
1950 51 Kenmore mixer...the one where they tried to copy a Kitchenaid,,,some odd cookware, a Wear Ever springform pan with the tube insert, a stainless Dormeyer bowl, a weird space age looking Fostoria mixer, an extra bowl which also fits a General Mills mixer, Donald found a set of NOEL candleholders and 2 NIB boxes of WT Grants c-9 Christmas lights....The rolling pin I couldnt resist at the auction we went to today...it had a tag on it saying, this belonged to my grandmother...the lady that lived in the house was in her 80s when she passed, so I figured the rolling pin had to be at least 70 or 80 years old..

Great finds Hans
I especially love the corning cake pans, but I'm a big Corning junkie.
I have a pair of the cake pans and am wishing for a third one

Envy Envy Envy!
I keep hoping some of those cake pans will turn up, but so far, no luck.
I'm glad you found those for yourself!

Love that Kenmore mixer! And did I spy a local "church cookbook" or two in that stack? They are great; so many regional comfort food recipes. Don't know that I've ever seen Corning Ware cake pans before.
That's a great looking mixer, especially when sitting on the Kenmore range! How is that cooking for you now that you've had it installed for a bit?

The main reason//
I bought the mixer is to have an extra bowl and beater for mine, that thing is really powerful...180 watts in 1950 when a Sunbeam was 120!The bowl is plastic!..Kind of a Melmac type thing.

What a Haul!
I wonder if the Kenmore mixer used the same all purpose beater as the KA? The bowl looks way to shallow to contain what that beater moved around, but it is the first time I have seen such an animal. I wonder if there was a lawsuit in the mix. I can't imagine that Sears spent the money to make the strong planetary gear necessary to make that mixer as long-lived as a KA.
The Grants light set NIB is a treasure in so many ways. Are the NOEL letters candle holders?
My brother and I used to call those beans Van Cramps.

Kenmore...
It is NOT a planetary motion machine, the bowl locks on a turntable that has a braking mechanism in it, the bowl turns, but the beater is a similar thing to the KA, it is much more powerful though, made by Birtman electric company, it must have not been very popular, because they are rare today,,of course it sold for 43.95 in 1950!!! thats probably what was not popular!

RE Corning cake pans...
I thought they were too high at 15.00 a pop...but then I looked on ebay!!! I bought them at the Factory Antique mall in Verona Virginia, we went Friday, its about a 3 hour trip, but supposedly the biggest antique mall on the east coast, I wonder if Corning made these in 9 inch????

The Kenmore mixer is really cool looking - very sturdy.
Kelly did love Corningware cake pans and pie plates. You made a good catch with two in one day.

Hans, Thanks for explaining the Kenmore mixer. I wonder if it might have been too radical a design for most mixer customers--"That does not look like momma's."

You might!
Be right, It really does work well, the bowl is about the size of a 3-c.

Wow! The garage and estate sales in this neck of the woods never yield anything close to this - what a haul indeed!!
Hans, the mixer in picture 5 is fascinating - what brand is it?
The Noma tree topper is something else, too - did you (or should I say did Donald) test it yet?
And the Corning cake pans! Oy!! I've been looking for a set for years - congratulations on your finds!

Mixer in picture 5
Is a Fostoria..
Is a Fostoria..
Hans-- A question and an observation:
1) My admiration grows each time I see that 1960 Kenmore range console! It has my favorite version of the Kenmore logo; the script is so cool. It's the same (no surprise) logo sported by our 1960 Model 80 washer and dryer. And I can't resist a range with an electrical outlet.
2) You mentioned the mixer in photo #5 is a Fostoria. Would that be the same company that made Fostoria dishes (one of which is pictured below)? My mom had a set of 12 of this pattern, plus all the extra serving dishes, goblets, etc.

<span style="font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The only things I found at the 2 estate sales I went to were a snow rake ($10), and an aqua Tupperware flip-top sugar bowl ($1). There was a complete service for 12 of Homer Laughlin "Celeste" which was marked down to $17.50 today, but I need another set of china like I need a hole in my head. lol It had several hard to find serving pieces with it as well.</span>
