Dormyer is what we had too. My Mom got a Dormyer stand mixer when she was married in 1948. She used it until about 1974 when she got a Kithchen Aid stand mixer. That old Dormyer worked just fine to me, but then I didn’t know any better either, having nothing else to compare it with. I did however want Mom to get a hand mixer, preferably one that could be hung on the wall, with a detachable cord. I thought this would have been just the limit it modern small kitchen appliances. Bettie said, hell to the no, the Dormyer worked just fine, so that was that.
My Mom’s boss was a country doctor and his Dad was the manager of the Bohemian Grove in Monte Rio. Any excess food that was ordered was either thrown away, or he would sometimes bring it to us. Once he gave us two bushels of oranges. I squeezed everyone of those oranges on the Dormyer juicer in one session. That mixer never so much as overheated. But I was sick for a day from all the insecticide that came off from the orange rinds onto my hands, yuk what a smell. Eddie |

Dormeyer was Chicago-based, and was essentially a sister/parent-company to Webcor (electronics).
They had a bad accident in Chicago years ago. Before the world understood dust explosions, their mixer-beater factory exploded due to ignition of aluminum dust. Workers were blown out of the building onto the street. I have a Dormey, a Dormeyer hot pot (which I LOVE) and a stand mixer that needs beaters. Alas, I rely on my 20 year old Kitchenaid but have the classic Sunbeam 1950s stand mixer that I pull out occasionally. Tip of the hat to Kelly Beard... |

Russell, thanks for posting the Redi-Mixer pic, but I could not access the link, as I'm not a member of Yahoo groups. Hans, I'd like to see pics of yours when you get a chance. |
