Trio of mid-20th century aluminum kitchen tools, ideal for collectors of retro kitchenware. Included is a classic hand-held measuring cup with embossed graduations for one cup, three-fourths, one-half, and one-fourth cup, as well as a green-painted handle. Complementing the set is a straightforward aluminum measuring cup with easy-to-read raised markings, exhibiting patina consistent with age and use.
The standout piece is a “Smoothie Mixer and Measure” by Aluminum Specialties Mfg Co, as indicated by the embossing on the lid, offering both mixing and measuring functions in one compact form. All pieces display signs of regular vintage kitchen use, with wear and surface markings that contribute to their authentic character.
These items reflect mid-century American kitchen design and manufacturing, preserving both utility and nostalgic charm for collectors or period kitchen displays. Approximate measurements: each piece ranges in capacity from one to two cups, typical for kitchen prep of the era.
