Kitchen appliances

and realized this thing is ancient,
As near as I can ascertain I got this thing about 1970 or so. It has a glass
container and I have replaced the rubber seals a few times.
It is a 12 speed - 6 actually with a high & low button.
If I am correct (not usually) this appliance could be pushing 40.
What old Appliances do you have that are in the category of "They don't make
like that any more?"

We have been married for 47 years and I believe that our Osterizer was
purchased early on. It is a solid state Imperial Ten (10 settings)
with a heavy metal base and glass container. Not as old, I have but
do not use, a KitchenAid mixer purchased in the late 1960's. The
Cuisinart is old Custom 11 that was made in Japan. The KitchenAid I
use is one of the last ones made by Hobart.
BTW, I have replacements for all of these, just in case.

The only really ancient kitchen appliances that I have are a Kitchenaid
mixer and a Panasonic rice cooker both bought in the late 60s. They are
used frequently and the only maintenance they have received was when the
mixer became noisy and I refilled the gear case with white grease about
20 years ago. I have a fairly ancient electric wok but I don't use it
much.

We have been married for 57 years so you have a bit of catching up to
do!
One of the first appliances my child bride and I purchased in 1953 was
a GE electric frying pan. My first job out of college was with GE and
I got a "second" at the employee counter for $12. A huge sum when I
was only getting $50/week salary.
It is still in regular use today. A couple of years ago I had to
replace the electric cord, the type that plugs into the end of the
handle of the pan using a two wire connector that is probably illegal
today. The replacement cord cost $14.
My wife wouldn't even consider making chili in any other pan, and it
does a wonerful job for me making English muffins.

i have a farberware electric frying pan that was purchased in 1959,
for the outrageous sum of $50.00 at the original white front store on
central avenue in los angeles. i've replaced the heating element
twice.
i also have my step-gramma's ice cream scoop, with a copyright date of
1904, that works very well.

I have a blender that is about the same vintage. It was a wedding
present that we got in 1973. I have to say that it has only been used
once in the last 5 years or so. It has had one or two jar and seal
replacements.

GE toaster ovens - one circa 1967 and the other 1980. Both still
going strong.
My Sunbeam Oskar - gotta go back to early eighties.
Hamilton Beach electric knife - about 1968 .
I think a relative has my mother's Osterizer ca. 1958.

Last weekend I bought an ancient Cuisinart, "DCL 7-Pro" for $10 at a
yard sale sponsored by our local Humane Society. It had the book with it
and the book had a copyright of 1982. I have to mash the lid down to get
it to make the connection but it works. It has all its disks and blades,
a cookbook and a video which I haven't watched. If I want to I can
still get a new bowl and lid assembly for about $70.

HI All,
My little 3 speed hand mixer died last year. I used it often and it always
did a great job. I do not recall what brand it was or how old it was, but
my mother bought it in the late fifties or early sixties. I shed a quick
tear and grabbed my new, but rarely used Kitchenaide hand mixer. The old
one did a better job of mixing and beating!!
As to non-electric devices, I have and still use the nut grinder that was my
mothers from as far back as anyone can remember. I asked an older sister
once how old she thought it was, and she thinks mom got it in the late
1940's. I remember using it when I was a kid, as it was my job to grind the
nuts for mom's baking.
Later,

1967 Osterizer, 10 speeds (10 buttons plus on/off button)
1941 Hamilton Beach Commercial Malt Mixer
1937 2 GE Waffle Irons
1937 GE Triple Beater Stand Mixer
1972 KitchenAid K5 Stand Mixer
1956 Westinghouse Electric Roaster w/floor cabinet and clock-timer
I use them all at various times. They all perform like new, and most look
like new.
All but the Osterizer and KitchenAid belonged to my parents who took really
good care of things. I bought the Osterizer and KitchenAid
. I take good care of things, too. :-)

I have exactly the same Osterizer as you. The glass container is
cracked, however. I would love to replace it, because it's a good
blender....indeed, they don't make them like that anymore!

Look under Parts and Accessories, then under Sunbeam-Oster. They have
glass containers.

A few items we bought or were a wedding/shower gifts about 43 years
ago.Waffle iron, Oster citrus juicer about the same time. Sunbeam electric
fry pan, Corning electric percolator. These are not used every day, but
they are used on a somewhat regular basis and work as well as when new.
Still have some dishes, cookware and the like, but we've added quite a bit
over the years, but they never wear like an electric appliance. .

Thank you very much!

How could I forget - my little Hamilton Beach hand mixer. It's at
least 40 years old. Granted, it's not used even weekly, but at least
it's still working.
I think my Betty Crocker elec. can opened is at least 20 years old.

We too have an old Osterizer (probably 30 years or so) that works just
fine. No other appliance that is very old, other than a Hamilton Beach
mixer that doesn't work :( The other old things in the kitchen (other
than me of course) are the Corningware cornflower pattern pieces, the
manual meat grinder and some cookie/biscuit cutters one of my uncles
gave us. He apprenticed as a teenager/young man just after WW2, so they
are at least that old. Other old bits and pieces but not appliances.
Beea
was born in 1949, so she gave it to me when she decided she wouldn't be
using it any more. I keep a supply of the glass bowls on hand because they
can be hard to find, and they don't last through too many crashes onto
Terrazzo floors. Had to have the cord replaced once.

It's hard for me to think of this as "ancient", since it's about the
same age as my DLC Super Pro (11-cup) and I still remember when I
bought it. Somehow 1982 doesn't seem that long ago. Now something
from back in the '50s, that would be ancient.
