The seller who sold me the Frigidaire contacted me today and asked if I would be interested in this Duncan Hines freezer, otherwise they are going to scrap it. I can't take it presently. Would anyone be interested?
I can put you in contact with him. I've never seen one of these, ever. I asked about the working condition - will update as soon as I hear from him. Phil |

I'm always impressed with the attic full of info some of you members have stored in your heads. I only remember the boxed cake mixes which my mom and other neighbors or friends of my mom used in the 50's and 60's.
Tom ,that postcard was top-quality satire. Duncan Hines restaurant ratings were fair game for darts. I never knew a Duncan Hines Restaurant existed - no one in our family circle mentioned Duncan Hines, just the cake mixes. I have seen some cookware at the thrift shops, but declined to grabe any as they weren't anything special I needed or wanted. UPDATE - the condition of this freezer is unknown. I wish my contact had better information, so...if it's unknown, it's probably not working? Tom - I read the links, thanks! I've seen some pots and pans, Duncan Hines - probably Regal Ware.

I didn't know that there were Duncan Hines freezers! I have some Duncan Hines cookware that Paul gave me, I didn't know much about it either. I thought it was promotional stuff you could buy when buying Duncan Hines cakes or something like that! Thanks Tom for the information! And I had seen a picture of Sanders Court and Cafe but didn't know much about it! flic.kr/p/aWzMU6...
As a Canadian, I'm more familiar with the later years from his career when he sold his US franchises but kept the Canadian one (and he did participate to the French and English advertising campaigns until the end of his life). |

Wasn't there a connection between DH and the Jet-O-Mat percolator?

Yeah, I didn't use the Jet-O-Mat. It was a thrift store find and I gave it to someone who would, and he thought it did OK, noise and all.
He has since discovered the superior brew rendered by an early issue Norelco 10 automatic drip machine (in less than half the time it takes with a percolator), and am pretty sure he's a convert. |

My cookware, purchased in the mid 1980's I'm thinking; which would have made them of the Regal variety. The mixing bowls are not DH..

Damned right he is. :-)
The Jet-O-Mat is a perfectly serviceable percolator. The noise is precious--one time we had a fridge that had the habit of sighing when the compressor kicked off, and the direct-drive Maytag dishwasher that sounded like an air compressor when it ran. ("The direct drives were quiet"--my butt. You could confidently affix a "Whisper-Quiet" label to a BOL D&M after that thing.) With the symphony of odd noises, our neighbor, who had stopped by, announced that it sounded like some kind of deviant appliance orgy in the kitchen. David finds it makes better hot tea than coffee. Compared to the Norelco, that's faint praise. :-) |
