  • I just saw this article this morning. There was so much craftsmanship put into those appliances, who would have thought there were so many ways to make toast!

    Some of these are so wild! I wish we went back to these styles.

    The GE one from 1900 without a flipper is scary. I wonder how many hands were burnt in the use of such an appliance.

    1:35 Very nice, typically 1970s. I use exactly this toaster regularly, a "Siemens TT 450016" made in Western Germany. Unfortunately, my toaster doesn't have the very cheerful, colorful enamel sheets on the sides, but a different design, white-blue, like old painted tiles, but also nice.

    I just bought one of those "automatic beyond belief" Sunbeam toasters and thought of this segment.

    Crumbs! I've never seen so many toasters! I like toast myself, and I'd like a slice of the action! 👍😂
