Label TextThis is a hand-cranked dough mixer. An early 20th century labour-saving device, it reduced the time and effort needed to make the family’s bread. The instructions on the lid of the device read: “Put in all liquids then the flour; Turn 2 ½ minutes / Raise with pail covered; After raising turn dough until a ball is formed / Loosen the screw on cross-piece then lift out dough / with stirring rod; Dry after using.”
