This is my mixer, given to me in 1997 by an elderly couple, friends of my in-laws.
It is made by Timothy White's, originally a chemist's and hardware shop which was bought by Boots in 1968. Boots took over the pharmaceutical side and Timothy White's became a housewares shop.
I'm guessing that my mixer is a 1970's model, with the attractive beige colourway.
I still have the instruction manual and recipe booklet.
The recipes are all imperial, although there is a conversion chart should you be new fangled enough to work in metric.
I love that this mixer is probably as old as me, and still works perfectly.
I love that the label tells me it has one tenth of a horsepower, and it was made in England.
I love that it helps me bake fabulous cakes!
I love that it has helped to make many, many cakes before, and will hopefully carry on to mix up many, many more.

How about you? Do you have any equipment that has stood the test of time?
