We used to have something that looked like this that we used to make toast at the hunting camp up north on a gas stove.

You never knew how the toast would turn out, even if you watched it.

That’s a threatening thingie! We would just cook the bread in a little of the bacon drippings. It wasn’t exactly “toast,” but it was hot and crispy!

That is probably the toaster they got for their wedding! Imagine, a toaster that lasts longer than most marriages.

Buffing wheel?

Is that for waxing your car?

When the wifey and I bought our Kirby in 1982 we had the option of buying the car waxing attatchments.

We passed on that one.

By the way. Does anyone know where I can contact a Fuller Brush agent? The hairbrush I bought in 1976 is losing bristles. And since I have a lifetime guarantee.....

That is a neat toaster.

My mother has a toaster that she got when she married almost 48 years ago. Nice solid chromed steel. Moves the bread down slowly when you put it in, and one time she had to get that motor fixed.

I’ve never had a toaster that lasted more than five years. The present one is approaching that, but four months after I bought it, the inner elements wouldn’t heat, and we have to flip our bread to get it toasted because I refuse to buy another until this one’s dead.

And who could forget "Toast on a Stick?"

At some point this thread will be toast

Fuller Brush salesman video ...the last of a dying breed. The end of an era of trust.

Still made in the USA

I suspect that if you contact them, they'll make good on your hairbrush.

A beautiful Pan Electric Toastrite in Blue Willow recently sold for more than a thousand dollars on ebay. I would lurve to have one.

GE Monitor top fridge. last a long time

My paternal grandparents were married in 1932. My grandfather bought a new GE Monitor Top refrigerator that year.

He died in 1970; my grandma died in 2003. The refrigerator is still working (perfectly!) at my aunt and uncle's shop.

I already have first dibs on it if they want to get rid of it (they have no kids).

It must be a Sunbeam, I have one that I use to this day. Had to have the lift mechanism worked on once, fortunately have a guy that specializes in old appliances. My toaster drives the kids nuts, they can't figure out how to push the bread down as there is no lever, you just put it in and it slowly goes down. This toaster was the finest toaster you could buy in the 1950s, around $80 bucks I believe...but I could be wrong, I was just a kid back then. Also desirable was the matching Sunbeam Vaculator coffee pot, a two piece chrome beauty with the same logo on the side as the toaster.

Chickens and Toast, please

Or the physics of toast?

I heard this guy on a morning show and almost drove off the road when he got to the French toast part. Funny stuff.
