Vintage mixers

[electroluxxxx]

I was at an antique barn today and spotted a few mixers, there was a dormeyer mixer with beaters, bowls and optional grinder which was $25 and other was a Sunbeam mix master (Do not know the model) with the mix master jr., beaters, bowls, and optional blender they wanted $45 for those. would either of these be worth it? I was pretty tempted to buy them.

Check this vintage Dormeyer Mixer...

A very strange set up.... And it's all chrome
They want $40 for it at the local thrift shop .

The Dormeyer Is.....

Their entry-level stand mixer; vertical mixers were not terribly popular by this time, but there were still consumers who would choose them for their low price.

The chrome finish dates it somethere around 1954 or later; mixer companies began offering the finish at that time. This mixer is a little unusual in that it's an inexpensive mixer in the expensive finish.

A grinder is not "optional" with most Dormeyers. Dormeyer usually gave a grinder or a juicer with most mixers, as opposed to Sunbeam, where all attachments were optional. Dormeyer's prices were a little higher than Sunbeam's, so they needed to be sure consumers felt they were getting value.
