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 is the beater combination that graced the coverof my first book, “The Eggbeater Book” and is featured on Page 27, Fig. 3-26 inmy latest book. The all cast-iron beater with metal apron is very rare.The wheel is marked PAT APRIL 14, 1903, see Page 29, Fig. 4-2, a patent byClarence A. Taplin, founder of the company that bears his name. This beatershows its age with some discoloration on the apron but is in good workingorder. The uncommon transparent green glass 2-cup pedestal-style measuring cup isembossed on the bottom T&S TORRINGTON HANDIMAID MADE IN U.S.A. Themeasuring cup is nearly pristine, with what appears to be a couple of tiny nickson the pouring lip that could be mold roughness that wasn’t polished properly.I’ve included a close-up photo in an attempt at full disclosure.
