"Toast is always a treat..."



I didn't even have any bread in the house, so I got some English muffins out of the freezer. Alas, this isn't the glass-sided one that made the news a few years ago, and I admit I didn't find this at a yard sale, but found it on eBay.

I love everything about this one, from the chrome to the Bakelite base to the clunky on/off switch (looks just like a light switch.) And here, someone made an animation with a Toast-o-lator®:



When [livejournal.com profile] write_light proposed this weekend event, my first thought was, "I don't have any of that stuff." I was forgetting my collection of toasters and blenders! Stay tuned…

[Look at the long vacuum-cleaner cord on this machine! No way would that be legal nowadays.]

Maybe its just me, but I dont see an ad at the top. Just a tripod logo. I did some sleuthing and think it was this ad?

I am in love with this toaster.

Only if I was able to grow a beard. Maybe I will finally hit puberty in my late 30's. They you will have to worry.

Whether it worked or not, if I had it, it would be on display all the time in my 50's era kitchen! Neat!!

It looks like the HAL 9000 of toasters. Please make sure to unplug it after use or it could gain sentience and toast us all.
