Old Mixer

Here is my old Sunbeam "Beater-Mix". I have had it for years and years, and it was old when I got it. It has never let me down, but started to make a strange noise when I was trying to beat the cream for the cheese cake and trifle. This was on Christmas Eve, so we had to go out and get a new one, in case it wouldn't work on Christmas Day while beating all the cream for the pav.! That would have been disastrous!

So far I can't bring myself to throw it away. I believe it was made in the 50s or 60s, so has really done well. At the moment it is in a plastic bag in the pantry, so I will decide it's future soon.
