West Bend Lektro Maid 1970 and Miracle Maid 1968 Manuals, Two Comb Bound Vintage Cookware Booklets

Two West Bend instruction books for electric cookware, the Lektro Maid from 1970 and the Miracle Maid from 1968. Both are landscape booklets with black covers and white plastic comb binding, and both carry the West Bend Company name with the West Bend, Wisconsin 53095 address.

The Miracle Maid booklet carries the subtitle The Ultimate Dimension in Cookware on its cover. Each booklet belongs to a specific appliance, so the directions and the recipes sit together in one piece.

Both combs are intact with no missing teeth, and the interiors are clean and bright. The covers show light scuffing from storage.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process your order within 1 business day, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
