Hi all.
I have a 50s style kitchen and would love to have a real nice 1950s blender to go in it. Not very many vintage blenders here, so i figure it will have to come from the states. For some reason they just look better stateside than here which is why i am asking. I know i can find one on ebay but i am not sure if it is 50s or not. The seller might say it is 50s and not know for sure. I have noticed other members on here collect small appliances so i would love to buy one from them before turning to ebay. The beehive blenders look 50s but might not be as it seems to be a style that has been made for years. I would love to have a salmon pink or light blue one with a glass jug and hopefully a cloth covered cord as that just adds the vintage touch. I have a 110 volt transformer so it would work great here despite the voltage difference. It would only be used once in a while and on display the rest of the time as i would not want to wear it out. Could you maybe post pics so i can see all the great examples out there??? I sure hope someone out there can help. All the best, Gary. | ||

Vintage blenders
It is true that there are not many authentic 1950s blenders here as they were not that popular then, and mainly sold with table mixers like the Kenwood chef or Sunbeam Mixmaster. The main blender only would be the Kenmix. I do have to say that there are plenty of modern blenders which have a vintage look on ebay - as the above shows ....

I don't think I've ever seen a vintage blender with a cloth covered cord... none of mine have. . Cloth covered cords were used more with small appliances that heated, like toasters and irons. | ||

I think the Waring rocket ship blender is one of the coolest and they still make them, or at least they did up until not too long ago.

IT IS GREAT TO SEE ALL THESE VINTAGE APPLIANCES BEING PRESERVED FOR THE FUTURE. NOT LIKE THE CHINESE GARBAGE MADE NOWADAYS.
I GUESS BACK IN THE DAY THESE ITEMS COST A LOT TO BUY SO THEY HAD TO LOOK THE PART AS THEY WERE DISPLAYED ON THE COUNTER FOR ALL TO SEE. NOW EVERY TOM,DICK AND HARRY HAS ONE AS ALL ARE CHEAP TO BUY. EVERYTHING NOW HAS NO LOOKS APPEAL OR STYLE. JUST MADE FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE THEN TO BE PLACED OUT OF SITE TILL NEEDED AGAIN. NOT IN MY KITCHEN. KEEP PICS COMMING AS I THINK SMALL APPILIANCES ARE GREAT!! MIXERS ARE A FAVE ALSO AS WELL AS TOASTERS. | ||

MY 1950S KENWOOD JUNIOR MIXER. THE CORD WAS STIFF AND INSIDE WIRES WERE BRITTLE SO I REPLACED IT.
YOU GUESSED IT!! A BLACK AND WHITE CLOTH CORD. IT REALLY MAKES THIS LITTLE MIXER LOOK THE BIZ!! AS SOON AS I GET ANOTHER CAMERA I SHALL POST PICS OF MY KITCHEN. MY KITCHEN IS NOT DOWN TO THE FINEST DETAIL BUT LOOKS VINTAGE. MY JUNIOR PIC IN MY PROFILE SHOWS THE VAC IN KITCHEN. YOU CAN JUST SEE THE FRIDGE AND COOKER IN THAT PIC. AS FAR AS MY MIXER GOES I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER LIKE IT HERE. I THINK IT HAD A STAND AT ONE TIME AS THERE ARE LITTLE PEGS COMMING OUT OF THE BACK SIDES THAT WOULD HAVE ENABLED IT TO BE MOUNTED ON A STAND, PROBABLY BOUGHT SEPERATELY. I DO HOWEVER SEE BIG VERSIONS OF MIXER ON EBAY OFTEN. GARY.

I see you got the ice crusher and some mini jars. The Oster base and blades fit all standard canning jars, at least the N.American ones . Long long ago there was a centrifugal juicer attachment as well... I have a pic of it somewhere | ||
