Mix It Up

I recently sold this vintage 1960s hand mixer to someone who is styling their home in Mid Century goodness.  It is a no-name appliance and the beaters were in pretty rough shape having beaten lord knows how many different batches of homemade delicacies over the years.  Its most appealing factor, for me, was this turquoise/sea green coloring.  And, in some weird way, the motor smell which elicited some vintage memories when I tested it out prior to selling it--you know that smell--the one that old appliances used to make but new appliances rarely do.  Perhaps that aroma is not especially desirable by the modern kitchen maven, but a vintage kitchen wench (sorry, taking liberties) would most certainly enjoy it as it mixed with the smells of home cooking.
