This item belonged to my careful and proper mother, who died at age 78. It was always kept in a smoke-free environment. I recently offered this item for $25 at an in-person estate sale. Luckily, it didn't sell. Now I know better. Compare new mixers at about $75, stand mixers at about $100, and stand mixers with power take-off (that attachment at the front end), which come in about $350. See https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0000635XA?psc=1&slotNum=3&th=1&linkCode=g12&imprToken=Wa7g39NTlsVZkmlR7AWqnA&creativeASIN=B0000635XA&tag=lynskit01-20. You can get and attach all sorts of things to that power take off to do all sorts of food processing. See this example, and at the bottom of the page, see some of the related items, like ice cream makers, pasta makers, meat grinders, slicers. https://www.amazon.ca/KitchenAid-KSMVSA-Slicer-Shredder-Attachment/dp/B01MUTSU13/ref=pd_sbs_79_1/136-0307339-6364762?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MUTSU13&pd_rd_r=1a5b62b2-a861-4b52-88e6-8e2b84c32734&pd_rd_w=jwQaV&pd_rd_wg=siNvN&pf_rd_p=dbebb38c-0e3d-4a67-ac15-432d7c7a2789&pf_rd_r=KFSE02YM1QHMZ8PJKJVR&psc=1&refRID=KFSE02YM1QHMZ8PJKJVR Comes with steel bowls and the accessories shown.
