Oh, how I love vintage kitchen gear!
My favorite is my 1974 GE hand mixer. It's is made from pure awesome. The craftsmanship of these tools is far superior than what's mainstream today. I wish more things were made to last so long. It's so much better for the environment (but not CEO's pocket's) to have things you can use over & over and pass down over the years.
I'll post about my mixer, & other old kitchen goodies, later this week!

I looove my great grandmother's potato masher. It seems all the new ones are plastic (how it that supposed to mash well, I ask you?). My mom also has my her old sifter, so I bought one similar at IKEA that's just not the same...
I do have a juicer and a pastry cutter from my grandmother that I don't really use (just because I don't do those tasks often), but they're gorgeous on display, with their patina and flecks of aqua paint.
absolutely love a retro styled Kitchen! a wonderful collection here.
Thanks so much for including my ricer in this fabulous collection of vintage kitchen-alia! Old kitchen tools were made to be used for years and built to last, which was just plain common sense in the 'old days'.
Almost everything in my own kitchen is vintage, including my grandmother's 1930s 'dish closet' as she called it. It's a simpler and (then) modern version of the Hoosier, my favorite piece of furniture :-)

Gorgeous collection! I love functional vintage, makes the purchase that much more justified! I was absolutely thrilled to be featured...THANK YOU!!!!
I have a slim antique aluminum garlic press from a thrift shop that has replaced all others and even travels with me. Easy to clean, use and store, it makes the perfect texture garlic for salads. My vintage masher is also so sturdy I've used it to mix cement.
