I have a Dormeyer Power Chef mixer model# SM12 CH.It was bought in 1964/65 Is there a dough attachment for this or an after market way of attaching a dough stirrer? |

The only thing then made with a dough hook was a Kitchen Aid or one of the European mixers like a Braun or Kenwood Chef. |

I think the Sunbeam Mixmaster introduced dough hooks about that time also. I do know The Mixmasters of the early 70's came with dough hooks. |

I think it was in the mid 70s when the Mixmaster got dough hooks and the more powerful motor, also the front logo changed from gold and silver to woodgrain and a brown handle and dial.
I don't know much about Dormeyers other than my grandma said she had one. I saw one for $20 at an estate sale awhile back, had the bowl, beaters, reamers and grinder. I was tempted to get it but decided need no more mixers! |

Darn near every Dormeyer made from the 20s on, until they became Warings, and I never saw one with a dough hook, I use a Kitchenaid or Kenwood for bread. |

Oh, yes I've seen some of those GEs with the three beaters, had a light underneath to light up the bowl too.
I have a Mixmaster with those looped hooks you're describing. Harvest gold color. Really like this mixer, though I haven't tried the dough hooks. I just use it for batters mostly, kind of overkill, but it does a great job and I like using it and seeing the bowl spin. It makes things more airy too. The date on the recipe book says 1975. |
