12 Old Kitchen Items That True Vintage Lovers Can Appreciate

9) Wacky Salt & Pepper Shakers

We can remember all kinds of crazy cute salt and pepper shakers over the years. Thankfully these little guys are plentiful in antique malls and vintage stores.

8) Bakelite Handle Utensils

Brilliant and beautiful, these utensils are more rare today. But, there is no other material that looks or feels quite like Bakelite.

7) Crank Hand Mixers

To make quick work of a job these little mixers really did the job.

If you love vintage decor and history, though, you most likely have used some or all of these wonderful old kitchen tools. We can remember the homemade cakes and pies, freshly squeezed orange juice, and savory meals created the old-fashioned way: by hand. Vintage kitchenware is one way to feel connected to all the cooks who have gone before.

6) Glass Rolling Pins

For getting just the right pie crust these rolling pins, filled with ice cold water, really helped everything go smoothly. We love to see them in jadeite like the one below, a real rare find!

5) Juice-o-mat

The chrome finish and the efficiency of these little citrus juicers still amazes to this day.

4) Silex Coffee Maker

The iconic design is really something. This atomic coffee maker graced many a breakfast table back in the ’50s and ’60s!
