base This is before much clean up except a wipe down. Pardon the dirt, and stuff around the brush roll. You don't see this kind of beauty anymore!

1939 Sunbeam Mixmaster This is somewhat of a stretch because it belongs to my parents and is at their house. But I assure you it WILL be mine. | ||

Fun thread!
My oldest appliance is a Model C Hamilton Beach stand mixer from 1934(?) with yellow glass bowls. I had a Hoover vac from 1927 and a couple of ancient fans over the years but they have moved on. Here's a cute ad on our CL for an "Old A**" oven (range)... CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK on Omaha Craigslist | ||

"All the dirt,all the grit, Hoover gets it every bit.... Actually Branden, "It BEATS,as it sweeps,as it cleans" slogan came out in 1919, seven years before the beater bar came out. At that point(1926) this beating action was called Positive Agitation. | ||

Mid-1940s
I have a 1946 (I think) Proctor pop-up toaster, it was a shower gift for my OL when they got married in 1947.
Also a General Mills "Tru-Heat" dry iron, a gift to her from my OM, probably same vintage. Last, a Westinghouse Roaster-Oven of unknown vintage, bought used. I would guess 1950 or thereabouts. It came with the instruction book, but it's undated. All three work great! | ||

oldest, oldest in daily use...
Oldest is a child's fully functional model wood burning range which belonged to my grandmother (born in 1918) and perhaps her mother before her. Firebox, ash box, six burners. My grandfather built a playhouse for me, and I used it to bake "pound cakes" in jello molds, "roast turkey" (doves), bacon in a mini skillet, tea and gosh knows what else. We last used it around 1996 when I fired it up for my sons and neices.
Next, my great grandmother's 1937 Sunbeam Mixmaster 3A. It had beaters, small jadeite bowl and a large white bowl from a post model 10 when I got it. I've since had Deco Dan restore the motor, but left the paint, dings and all original. I've also collected its orignal parts down to manual and mayo dripper. I use it when I'm making several cakes. Daily drivers: 1951 C-30 Coffeemaster. I keep the gaskets lubed with diver's food grade silicone grease, and it seems to help, Sunbeam CG-1 waffle iron and grill. It's a toss up, but we probably use the grill more. 1963 12C Mixmaster. I'm using it with turquoise bowls, and it's fabulous! Oh, and an undated Mixmaster Jr. with those super fins. Looks like awful but works great! Sarah | ||

My oldest would be my pink 1963 Maytag Highlander two speed washer which does at least 1 load a week and my 1980 KitchenAid KDS18 dishwasher that is used often, it is my daily driver. | ||

The oldest that I know the date on, is our 1949 Vent-A-Hood range hood. The Wedgewood stove is probably '50-'52. 
My T-9 Toaster, Sunkist juicer, or Hamilton Beach Mixer might be older, but I don't know enough about them to date them. | ||

It's a toss-up between the late 40's GE single door fridge, the late 40's Sunbeam Mixmaster, and the late 40's Electrolux canister vacuum cleaner.
The house was built in '41 but the kitchen was remodeled in 1965, and the appliances were updated again in the 1970's. I think the only electrical devices that date back to '41 is the two-pipe front door chime, and a hallway light fixture. | ||

My oldest and still functional would be my 1926 Magic Chef series 1000 gas range. She still bakes a mean turkey. That's followed by the early to mid 50's O&M range with 6 burners and two ovens. Third place goes to the one that surprised me the most by running first try after 2+ decades in a barn, the 57 Maytag E2LP wringer.
