wow
nice
I used to have my mothers very old egg beater.
it had something at the bottom that protected the blades from getting damaged by the bottom
some sort of guard.
I can not envision the issue w R or L handed that you mention
it might be real
the old Beater could be used ether handed as far as I can recall.
I also have my mothers very old electric ' mix-master '
this was mentioned a fair while ago here.
those beaters were not ' wire . beaters , but had a scalloped if you will inner indentation to them
now days its just a wire
but I have not looked at them in a while
what you are showing here does look pretty nice !
it was pretty much lie this one w some sort of hard on the bottom :
hard to see here , but the blades are not simple wires
and as far as I can see , would work L or R handed
