Just picked this up locally. I read an old forum post - does the "Kitchenaid Hobart Mfg" on the identification plate (see pics) mean it's a late 70's model K45? |

Thanks for your reply! The AC cord plug is 2-pronged. It's consistently yellow so I think the color is original. |

I think your mixer dates back to the last of the non-solid state models, so it's likely from the '70s. The logo on the band is the current style that's still used by KitchenAid. I don't think there's an exact date or year that has been identified for when the bowl rim changed from the flat type (which tends to scratch the paint off where it tends to scrape the stand) to the rolled rim. I put a rolled rim bowl on my K45 to eliminate the potential for scratching up the stand where I touched it up.
I've linked to a thread that occasionally gets resurrected when someone has a question like yours. There's a lot of information contained in that discussion and you may find some of it useful. CLICK HERE TO GO TO RP2813's LINK |
