Circa: 1929 Manufacturer: Androck Manufacturing
This is a red bakelite handle Androck Kitchen Whisk. It has full manufacturer markings on both metal outer plates near the handle which state "Pat. No. 1735236, Made in U.S.A., Androck Stainless Steel". Androck is the manufacturer and the patent date is a 1929 issue, so this piece dates to the 1930s. It has been called a Kitchen Whisk, Beater, Whip, Pastry Maker, Pastry Dough Blender, etc. To us it is a whisk from the style and use, even if it's main use could have been to specifically blend dough or items for pastries.
The red handle can be turned on its center rod and the whisk portion can be made to move or swing. You can tighten or loosen the screw and bolt at either end of the handle to make this looser or tighter as you wish. Measures about 5 1/2 inches from outer handle to outer whisk curve, about 4 5/16 inches greatest width and sits about 2 1/2 inches in height when laying on a table. The red bakelite handle has a curved/rounded line design horizontally. The handle, while red, has a reddish orange hue to it (although referred to as red), with line streaks of yellowing in it (it is not an all over flat red color).
The handle is in great shape, no large visible chips or cracks, with what looks to be an intentional "groove", not a chip, in the same place on two opposite ends which we think has something to do with sliding it into place in manufacture. There are some dark pin dots, scratches and/or tiny indented dots, and rubbed/scraped spots on the handle, but nothing bad at all, just expected evidence of use/age/wear. The metal plate parts also show some wear via scraping, scratches, spots, etc, but the whisk wires look great.
A nice addition to any collection of bakelite handle kitchen collectibles or a collection of kitchen whisks, blenders or pastry utensils.
Please note that we have many other Bakelite kitchen items listed separately for sale. If you wish to purchase more than one, please e-mail us before placing the order since the shipping information has been inputted for a purchase of just one and will not calculate the savings you would get when purchasing more than one shipped together in the same package (we will need to handle this for you). |
