A vintage Oster countertop blender from the early 1960s with dual-range push-button speed controls and a glass pitcher, originally sold with a bundled recipe book.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Found decades later in a thrift store and still fully functional, complete with its original 1963 recipe book, this Osterizer kept working well enough for daily milkshake use without any restoration.

    Some months ago I saw one of my holy grail appliances in a thrift store and instantly nabbed it. An Osterizer Dual Range Pulsematic 16. ... It came with 1963 dated recipe book ... These things work great.
