Popular Post harrybarbon Posted Thursday at 03:00 PM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 03:00 PM How about a real yummy malted milk shake, any flavour, chocolate, vanilla, blue heaven, caramel, strawberry, mint, raspberry, etc? I recently bought this at a closing down antiques warehouse, a genuine original GE Ritter 1950's USA made milk shake mixer. Chrome is a little bit flaky around the bottom lip of the cast iron base, otherwise the rest is like new. The cast base is 1/2 inch thick and the whole appliance is heavy. It is a pleasure and honour to see an example of what the USA made and to now own one. With it came 2 1950's original USA made thick ribbed glasses and 1 alloy mixer container to make the shake. It was in the dusty old warehouse for more than 7 years. I cleaned and polished it. It works fine and now looks like it came of the box today. Getting a malted milk and burger with the lot at a favourite truck roadhouse was a decent meal to keep on driving. It came out of a milk bar shop many years ago. This is a real USA quality made appliance, not the s..t coming from .... - MAGA 👍 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75193-usa-made-appliances-maga/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted Thursday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:36 PM That is a real great find!!!!!! I remember them fondly!! Some diners also used them to scramble their eggs to make a fluffy omlet.. I do not reconigise the "Ritter" name... Was it an Australian assembly company for General Electric???

other dog Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:14 PM Probably the last time I had a "real" milkshake was at the Cumberland Restaurant, in Cumberland, VA. where I grew up. That's probably been more than 50 years ago now. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
