The Antique Attic

I enjoy restoring and refurbishing vintage kitchen mixers. I would enjoy doing the same to antique cars, but they are too expensive and too time consuming - I can only afford one at a time. I do not necessarily want to collect these mixers, but simply to restore them. It is a known fact as a person grows older it is healthy to keep both your mind and your hands busy. This is my therapy to stay young.

I enjoy these mixers, and would like others to do likewise. I put about 8 - 12 hours into each mixer to restore it and would like others to be able to enjoy the product of these labors. I do not want to collect mixers, nor do I want to make a lot of money on them. If you see one that you would like, simply let me know and we can work out the details. Help me out here: I can't get more to restore if I do not get rid of some of these.

These make awesome display items on kitchen counters - they really go along with any vintage PYREX. These mixers also make wonderful, and unique gifts - think birthday, bridal shower, wedding, or Christmas.

BEFORE	Universal Mixer & Beater 1918	AFTER		BEFORE	GE Mixer 1940s	AFTER
	This is a Universal Mixer & Beater. It dates from 1915-20. It is one of the first electric mixers.		.		This is a GE mixer from the 1940s. The top folds down for storage. It is a rare mixer - it has 3 beaters!!
	It cleaned up nicely. It had one speed when I got it, but now (after cleaning) it has five! I restored it in "John Deere Green."		.		I call the paint job 'Leather and Lace.' I glazed the white and it feels like fabric, and the base I painted to resemble leather.
	It is missing a bowl rest, but other than that is beautiful. Displays beautifully.		.		I donated this piece to the Jefferson Co. Humane Society building fund..

	I got this because of the perfect condition: I cleaned it up, checked the innards, and waxed it! That's all folks.		.		Restored this for my sister-in-law in ME. She has a blue and white counter in her kitchen - I tried to make it match.
	It comes complete with a meat grinder for all of you sausage makers. This is similar to the one owned by Edith Bunker!		.	.	This was my first test with reproducing an original label.	.

	This served as my rehab after surgery in ME. A friend of ours in Monticello needed a juicer, so ....		.		Matched set of small mixers - one stand and one hand.	.
	This is my 'tropical' mixer. I glazed the stand in blue and painted the mixer with a textured sand-colored paint.		.	.	My first restoration project. Got the mixer at an auction - just to see if I could refurbish it!!	.
.	.	.	.		I call the paint job 'Fire and Ice.' They were just so cute that I thought I could make them cuter!
.	Hamilton Beach Model D	.	.	Weight: 14 lb w/ 2 bowls	GE Art Deco style Mixer 1930s	.
	We have friends in ME who both like to cook AND he is a Harley owner. Need I say more?		.		This is a beautiful, and small, Art Deco piece from the 1930s. If you look closely at the lines in the first pic it screams Frank Lloyd Wright!

	OK, this is not a mixer. Get this as a gift for your Man!		.		This is a nice 'oldie'. You can see the shape in which it arrived here.
	I glazed the metal parts in bronze and gold, and saved the original label.		.		This comes complete with meat grinder accessory, which is really unique.

					Hamilton Beach Model 4 Meat Grinder	.
				This is a meat grinder that fits the above mixer.Simply take the grinder off of		the stand and place it on the meat grinder. This is unusual and a real attention getter.
					This cost me dearly to purchase, but it was fun to restore! These are not easy to find.
