| Stock# 7600...This was my mom's portable electric hand mixer. Seems like I remember this being around in the middle 1950's. Mother was a busy, active person who didn't get into cooking all that much so this item has seen very modest use. I hate to sell it but cannot keep everything. It's hard to take a picture of since it is brilliant chrome and reflects anything even far away. I plugged it in and it works. It actually smells like my Lionel train transformer smelled when running. A bonus is that it still has its original box which doubled as a mailer box. I wonder if there are many "Silver Dormey" mixers around anymore. It was made by Dormeyer Corporation and is model number 7600....$28.95. Free Shipping US! | |

| Stock# 7012...1955 Ford (more or less) with a doggie in the window. This high quality tin car measures eight inches in length. The doggie sticks his head in and out of the window and yips (squeaks) as the rear wheels turn the friction motor. This car was purchased new by an adult for his collection back in the fifties. It is in nearly new condition. It has a couple of chips on the driver's side, a couple of which are touched up with identical paint signifying, to me at least, that it was touched up at the manufacturing facility. A great toy car with loads of charm...$125. (mp) Free US Shipping ! | |
