Authenticity Assessment
This item is a verified Kenton production from the 1930s. The "Kenton Toys" hallmark is crisp and integrated into the cast iron base. While the tires have been replaced to ensure the toy sits level, the iron and aluminum components show the appropriate wear, oxidation, and casting markers of a pre-WWII industrial toy.

Reference: This "Contractor Series" mixer is a documented Kenton staple. The dual-metal (iron and aluminum) construction is typical of Kenton’s mid-1930s output as they moved toward lighter alloy components for specific moving parts. See less
