It is Dusty Diary's goal to induce blender envy in you, the reader. It's actually not just some plebian "blender." It's an OSTERIZER!Add to that that this gleaming jewel is older than I am. It has four patent numbers on the bottom relating to various parts of the machine. The newest patent is from 1961. So, assuming they were hustling to make and sell it, I'm guessing this model is from 1961-2.
Ah yes, the model. Osterizer didn't just call this the "Blendo," or the "Mixwell," or the "Smoosh-A-Moosh," nosir. This paragon was justly dubbed with the moniker
This baby is Solid State! Yeah! I like that. No foofy electronics, and it weighs a lot! The carafe is thick rugged glass. AND--best part--it has a nifty Atomic Symbol on the front! It's an ATOMIC BLENDER!
Dusty D had great fun making pesto at the 10 (!) different speeds, including Frappe! Whip! Mix! Blend! Puree! LIQUEFY! (yes, that is one of the settings).
The pesto was pretty much just incidental. It was numsies though.
