"This gorgeous gadget had a design that many say mimics the streamlined sleekness and quality build of a classic '50s Cadillac - some models even boast fins at the rear. Made from enameled metal (early versions were cast iron, later ones were pot metal) and available in a range of colors, including chrome, pink, yellow, turquoise, white, blue, and avocado green, they were heavy and powerful."
"An old-school Sunbeam Mixmaster is a vintage electric kitchen gadget that is now worth a lot of money. Working and refurbished stand mixers sell for as high as $268.95 on ebay, and current listings range in price from $34.99 to $295.35, depending on condition and the accessories included. If you have one sitting in a kitchen cupboard, dust it off and see if it still works - you might be able to sell it to a collector."
The Sunbeam Mixmaster debuted in 1930 and surged in popularity after a redesign about a decade later, dominating many kitchens through the 1940s–1960s. The mixer featured a streamlined, automotive-inspired aesthetic with some models sporting rear fins. Early units used cast iron, later models used pot metal with enamel finishes in colors like chrome, pink, yellow, turquoise, white, blue, and avocado green. The machines were heavy, powerful, and accepted numerous attachments for tasks such as grinding meat, chopping vegetables, peeling potatoes, and kneading dough. Restored or working units can fetch between roughly $35 and $295, making them both usable appliances and collectible items.
