Most of the eggbeater ormixer items I'm listing now and, in the future, will have a reference to thePage # and Fig. # from my book "The Eggbeater Chronicles, SecondEdition" published in 1999 by Thornton House. The photos used in thisreference book were taken not only of my personal collection, but also from thehomes of collectors all over the U.S. Thoughthis book is out of print I am proud to say it has proven to be the "goto" source for information on egg beaters, mixers and chu...rns. In many casesthe listed item may also be the actual item photographed and published in mybook. Some will be ?unlisted items? that were discovered after the book waspublished. Some pieces are relatively common, others quite rare, so it will beworth your while to check my listings as I gradually disperse my collection forthe enjoyment of future generations of kitchen collectible aficionados.
This very scarce beater has a most distinctive wheel designand unusual dashers. It is like the one on Page 83, Fig 8-71. The11’’ mixer is marked VORTEX PATD JUNE 4th 1878. One of only ahandful in existence, it is in very nice condition with some distortion to theshape of the dasher blades. It operates very smoothly and the metal is free of corrosion or pitting. George Mooney of Providence, Rhode Island, in his1878 patent, cited his “cup-shaped beaters or wings” with openings, or holes, in the center. These, Mooney said, produce “a peculiar and most effectivevortex motion, by which the whole mass is gradually drawn into and through thebeaters and thus thoroughly mixed.” And thus the Vortex name. Opportunities to own an egg beater example as rare as this come around once in a lifetime. Remember..."He who hesitates is lost". Or to put it another way... “A person who spends too much time deliberating about what to do loses the chance to act altogether.” PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO ENLARGE AND REVIEW THE PICTURES POSTED.
