Hamilton Beach Stand Mixers
As with most "Stand Mixers" of the day, Hamilton Beach mixers could also be used as hand-held units by detaching them from the tilting base. Like the Sunbeam Mixmaster, Hamilton Beach also offered a variety of attachments, add-ons, and gizmos that expanded the use of the humble kitchen mixer. These units are becoming more and more popular as people grow more interested outfitting "vintage" or "retro" kitchens with items that they can actually use on a daily basis.
These units were built tough! It is not uncommon for these mixers to be running strong 70+ years after they mixed their first batch of cookies.... see if you can say that about todays mixers in 70 years!!
The mixers shown here are in "unrestored" condition. I'm currently working on restoring several old mixers and I plan to post pictures and information on mixer restoration as soon as they are completed.

Hamilton Beach Model E c.1940. This is
my favorite model of Hamilton Beach Mixer. The sweep of the handle and balance of the
mixer is very artistic. As with other mixer makers, Hamilton Beach suspended production of
its mixers in 1942, to support the US effort in World War II. They picked up production
once again in 1946/47 with the Model G below.
Hamilton Beach Model G c. 1946. This is
the Vintage Model most often seen today. It had a small viewing window labeled as the
"Mixerguide" through which you could see the speed setting.
Here is the Model G with top
mounted juicer attachment.
