Including a kan wondamixer that I found on on ebay, it&#8217;s a manual stand mixer that was invented in Australia.  And a wrought iron apple peeler that needed some restoration before I could test it out.  And a rotary egg beater.<\/p>\n<p>I was intrigued by the large number of patent applications for rotary egg beaters.  Strangely the person credited with inventing the rotary egg beater, Turner Williams, only filed one patent with slight changes to someone else&#8217;s design.  Williams beater was bought by Dover Company and mass produced.  Timothy Earle, who is never mentioned, made great contributions to the development of the rotary egg beater.  Take a look at the timeline of patents below.  Earle also filed patents for several other items including jars with closures for preserving and an oil can.  I do hope that he was duly rewarded for his inventions.    <\/p>\n<p>1859 Monroe<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/36a0e852083d58e58fa0405d398dab08-204x300.png\" alt=\"invention of rotary egg beater\" width=\"204\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-164723\" data-wp-pid=\"164723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/36a0e852083d58e58fa0405d398dab08-204x300.png 204w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/36a0e852083d58e58fa0405d398dab08-550x807.png 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/36a0e852083d58e58fa0405d398dab08-768x1127.png 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/36a0e852083d58e58fa0405d398dab08-300x440.png 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/36a0e852083d58e58fa0405d398dab08.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>1860 Timothy Earle &#038;
