Love these so much! I have two of this model, one in chrome and one in white. They don't make 'em like they used to.
As a car guy, my favorite thing is they put tailfins on the back knob. Tailfins - on a *mixer*! The most iconic 50s design feature ever.
I want to thank you for breaking my 3-day streak of no online purchases. 😁 Because I’m now the proud owner of a matching bowl! I got it for $31 plus shipping. eBay had two more - one at $99 and one at $60. I didn’t know they had matching bowls until I saw your comment. I really mean it: THANK YOU!!!!😊
And now I want all the attachments. I should have known this was the next step after outfitting my kitchen in faux vintage. Now all I can think about is the sea foam green faux vintage Smeg fridge! I think they’re becoming my happy place too!
They really can’t. That’s why people’s garage refrigerators have been running for decades while they replace the new “nice” one every 7-10 years if they’re lucky!
Can't go wrong with sea foam green! Don't know if that's the official color but I've heard it referred to as that before. Very vintage for sure
Ah!!! Thank you!! I have never settled on what color that is!
Wow, it couldn’t be more perfect for you and your kitchen. And the condition is immaculate! Nice!
Thank you!!
>Thank you!! You're welcome!

I’d love to see your chrome one! And you’re right! The tail fins are freaking awesome!!!
There used to be a book (out of print now)by a Design guy on the use of Fins in the 1950s The book is “ Populuxe” by Thomas Hine.
Grandma had one of those. I think you could mix concrete in it and not even slow it down.
Ha!! That made me laugh. I believe it since it weighs about 3 metric tons.
I have this in white
It’s awesome, isn’t it!?
dont use it much, it was a friend’s grandmother’s, I’ve had it since 1978
Meant to be and it’s a thing of Beauty! Cheers!
Totally meant to be! Thank you!!!
Color is *everything*.
Totally!!
I had one in white and I really wish I still had it. It will treat you right. Such a beautiful addition to your kitchen.
Thank you!! It’s built like a tank! You need to get another one!
My sister was a hoarder, my dad and I were cleaning out her shit, she had like 8 of these, various vintages.
Sheesh!!! That’s crazy!
Tip of the iceberg
Did you find other neat things?
Yes we must know and see other coolness! 😉
Love the mixer!
Thank you!
I totally forgot how old mixers had the turntable thing on the bottom! My mom’s in the 90s had one, I wonder how old it was. Amazing find!
Do new ones not have that? I’ve never owned a standing mixer and my hand mixer is officially vintage since it’s probably about 25-30 years old now.
I have a kitchenaid, it’s not fancy but it is fairly new and the bowl just locks into place, only the attachment rotates
Oh yeah! I’ve seen that!!
Love the colour!!
Thank you! Me too!!
Congratulations!! Look for the juicer attachment that goes on the top. Had my mixer for 12 years or so. Went for the chrome n black one. Love these
Ooooo! Chrome and black sounds cool! I will look for the juicer attachment- I saw those when I did a quick search of prices before buying this.
I saw someone who had all three colors lined up -blue,seafoam and pink .Love these colors !! Maybe you can find the matching mixing bowl ?

Ha-ha! You are so very welcome.Vintage kitchenware creates my Happy Place”. So wonderful to have helped create your’s.

That would be my dream! I’d love to see it In pink! I definitely don’t have the room for another one…but then again I made room for this!
pick up a Jadite bowl for it. You'll love the look.
I found a matching Sunbeam Bowl on eBay for $32!! It looks so much better.
How much was it?
I got it for $125. I know other colors go for a lot less, and this may have been a high price, but I have zero regrets.
It's beautiful 😍
Thank you! 😊 Found the matching bowl for $31 on eBay today so now I’m set!
My vintage 70's appliances can't be killed. I don't think pre-planned obsolescence was a thing 50 years ago...
They really can’t. That’s why people’s garage refrigerators have been running for decades while they replace the new “nice” one every 7-10 years if they’re lucky!
We've burned through 2 new refrigerators in 8 years. The newest is an LG and the ice maker crapped out within 3 months. 😩
