Up for sale is an original Vintage Wesson Oil Mayonnaise Maker, a wonderful example of early 20th-century kitchen advertising and food-preparation innovation. This set includes the embossed glass mixing jar, metal plunger/mixer, screw-on aluminum lid, and the original printed recipe booklet that accompanied the product when sold.

These mayonnaise makers were produced in the late 1920s through the 1930s as promotional items encouraging homemakers to use Wesson Oil for fresh homemade mayonnaise. The embossed measurements and printed recipe on the front of the jar, along with the mechanical plunger mixer, allowed users to whip mayonnaise in minutes.
