You have a Great Lakes Whirlaway, made in Marysville Michigan. On the early model the handle slides to the back of the bulb to cast. The later model the handle is fixed on the side of the bulb. They were made in the 1950s.

On average these sell for $30 to $50 if they are complete, no damage and light wear. Mint in the original box - over $100.
