I unpacked the boxes that contained the blender and mixer we used when I was a child in the 1950s. The Waring blender was in the dining room closet along with 2 Sunbeam Mixers exactly where my Grandmother had stored them. I guess my mother and grandmother both had a mixer. I'm sure the one with a little more wear was my Grandmother's. I'm keeping the blender - it is just so cool. Note that the jar does not have a handle. The jar was made by Pyrex for Waring and is so marked on the bottom.
You really had to hold the lid down tight when turned on as it did not fit tight like they do today. It was so much fun to make the malts, but I sure didn't like cleaning the jar with those blades at the bottom. I am just so happy to have this wonderful childhood memory sitting on my kitchen counter.
