OK, guys, we are in the midst of the big annual yardsale. I have
unearthed the EMIL's Sunbeam MixMaster. #100-86659. It has the two
bowls, and various mixing tools. Is this something I stick $2 on, or is
it really more of a collector pieces. Haven't a clue, have never used
it, but she made banana bread forever, at least up to a couple of years
before she died in 2005.

I'd say $2 sounds good. They haven't really changed their model in
all these years. I had one when we first came here and thought it was
a waste of space, not heavy duty at all. If it has the stainless
steel bowls, they were worthwhile, I'd keep those and junk the mixer
lol

Thanks buddy!! We seemed to sell so much today, but we just wanted to
get the stuff out of here. WE made some money, but most things had a $1
or 25c on them. Is it a WW2 thing.... we HATE to throw usable STUFF OUT!!??

The last two falls this building has held a yard sale. The first year
there was one old biddy who was insisting on prices like $15, she has
finally hoisted in what we told her, either you want it to go, in
which case they never seem to want to pay more than $5, or don't put
it in a yard sale lol

I am one of those people who simply adores owning and using what some
people would call antiques and others would call junk! I use antique
cast iron, baking pans and biscuit cutters from the 1920's, saucepans
from the 1930's, kerosene table lamps that have been converted to
electricity, my grandmother's treadle sewing machine from 1896, 100-
year old chandeliers I have had re-wired, and a stove-top toaster. I
enjoy using my mother's slicer from the 1940's -- the 3-legged kind
with the different styles of slicing drums and crank. I have a
Universal grinder that clamps onto a table that makes wonderful beef
salad and chicken salad from leftovers. I am looking for an inverted
v-shaped electric toaster to have refurbished. I have a 1906 Victrola
in the living room (yes, it works beautifully!) and a reel mower in
the garage to cut the grass. When I find the right Sunbeam Mixmaster
it will come live on my counter and be used, too! I cook from scratch
and often try antique recipes -- some are great! I'm not a complete
throw-back, of course, and although my house was built in the 1889 it
has proper insulation, modern double-glazed windows, completely up-to-
code electricity and plumbling, central air, etc. It's very
comfortable, and I blend modern safety and comfort with the old-
fashioned things. I grow my own tomatoes and peppers and herbe, make
jam, and I do tatting, and every stitch in any quilt is by hand.
However, sometimes a "modern" sewing machine is a great thing,
especially for "sewing days" at the church, and I am delighted with my
most recent purchase -- a Singer Model 221 (Featherweight) that works
perfectly and has all attachments, etc. And, of course, I'm sitting
here at a computer . . . I guess the message is that just because
something is old doesn't mean it should be tossed! Someone will love
it.
