This is a really interesting one, didn't know they offered stainless top on this era of machine.
Having had the opportunity to use a very similar Blackstone I have to say it works very well, though certainly not the most dramatic or splashy. They spin out much better than most machines of this era, too. Relatively good capacity as well. |

Blackstone was based in Jamestown New York so seems more likely to be found toward the east coast. The local propane outfit sold Blackstone for a short time in the early 1970s. They had a display one year at the county fair, which was the first time I'd heard of the brand. I never knew of anyone who had one. |

Models 60 and 75. Must have been these; according to the Blackstone file inside my head, there weren't any stainless tops subsequent to these models.
