Here is the pair of cool lamps with the fiberglass lampshades:





I paid $45 for the pair.

So, my handle is Mixmaster, but I haven't posted any yet (Sunbeam Mixmasters, that is!).....



In this picture there are three mixers, the one in the middle and the one on the left are both model 3's (made 1936-8). The model 3 on the left was purchased from a fellow mixer collector for $30. That's a pretty good deal, and I was happy to get it. That is, until, I went to an estate sale and purchased the one in the middle for $5. ....and the $5 one works better than the $30 one! It didn't when I first got it home, but I opened it up, re-greased it, oiled it, gave it a new cord, and now it runs like a champ!

Just to round out the description, the mixer on the right is a model 5 (there was no model 4 produced). Model 5's were produced from 1939-40.

I found this at the Goodwill today. An original Jefferson Golden Hour. It was working for a short while, then....quit. It's definitely vintage by the look of the plug in. It was $7.

That is a beautiful clock QB.

[Quigley Brown]

I read that the date the clock was made was on the inside of the base so I unscrewed the bottom: 2/25/54!

Quigley! I haven't seen one of those in years! I've always wanted one! Congratulations!

Beautiful clock, Mixmaster! At least yours works. I haven't taken the time to open mine up yet.
