I'm not at all parochial.🤣
Acquired many years ago, my one of these belonged to my grandmother. It has been so worn out with use that my father bronze welded repairs to the whisk blades that had worn away at the bottom.
He did that because they were no longer being made.
This one is a gift from Bro who found it in a second hand shop. These whisks are worth more than their weight in diamonds to their devotees. Their manufacture stopped several decades ago and the remaining examples are coveted by old fashioned bakers who don't own electric cake mixers.
(I believe someone tried to resurrect the design but used inferior materials and cheaper construction - needless to say the venture failed. I guess the original manufacturers closed up eventually because their product was so good we never needed a second one and second hand ones still have generations of life in them!)
