Hand crank metal turbine style egg beater with wooden turn knob. Base of beater is made up of two loops made up of flat strips of metal that have been pinned together, the top piece forms a mushroom-shaped handle and the bottom piece is angled and shaped around the beater disk. A thin metal disk with holes punched around the edge and a simple wooden knob is attached where the two loops meet and comes out on one side. Spinning this disk operates a gear piece which is attached to the beater disk via a long stem; the beater disk slopes down in the center and has several slots that span from the middle to the edge.
