Think About It Thursday #64 -- THE SOLUTION IS HERE!

|
WE HAVE A WINNAH! We have a lot of winners this week, as, as Mark has pointed out elsewhere, some of these puzzlers are just too easy. Heck, he was getting mad when they were too tough, and he's getting pissed that they're too easy. Well, we have one coming up that will be extremely clear and extra difficult...!
But back to this week's winner, Richard, who gave himself multiple dings with all due confidence. Yes, sir, this is indeed one of Thursday Admin's trusty old blenders, the base and carafe, to be precise. There's also a brand new Cuisinart high-end food processor/blender around here, and it's already had to be replaced due to a burned-up motor. These old ones never quit ~ and they're nearly free at garage sales! The "Made In The USA is a clue" part of the puzzler was meant to indicate that this thing is old. Consumer goods aren't made in the USA anymore.
Damn, Wenz! Google or not, you certainly deserve this week's prize, though you're not going to receive it. (First guessers win, not most-complete-answer guessers.) Curious to see what would happen, I googled "u.s. patent number 2530455" and got just about nowhere. I would'a had to go your way to get such an awesome answer.
You need a man who can cook, Lewesrat? Then I'm your man! Oh, yeah, I'll flambe your hot pocket and braise a mean batch of twinkies. Only one problem: I'm already somebody else's man. I have some extra blenders; should I send one to you?
G'day, Mark! What's with this non-guess? I have half a mind to move you down to the ALMOST Contestants column till you improve your attitude, young man. Actually, I only have half a mind, and I'm going to do anything of the sort.
And it looks like going with Mark, who is going with The Bratz, is what Maryam is doing this week. Really, this was way too easy. Check out the next puzzler, Maryam. If you are the first correct guesser, I will personally hand-deliver your prize, as I will be completely amazed at your brilliance. Dang, I'd have to take vacation time for that, so I hope you don't get it right....

Greetings from the land where Thursday can now be any day at all! 
We have a new one for you. You might notice that the puzzler this week is embossed with some words. Some of the words say "Made In U.S.A." and that is a clue of sorts. Good luck to you and we'll see ya soon!
