My parents bought a new toaster in 1952.

It’s in their kitchen today. It still works - it still makes toast.

57 years. Wow! Name me an appliance made today that could be expected to last 57 years.

GE Monitor top fridge. last a long time

i am still using my parents 1950’s kirby vacuum cleaner, all cast aluminum body, impossible to break, it also shampoos rugs, has a drill attachment, buffing wheel, shoe polisher, and mothball sprayer. what more can a person want. then there is my 47 year old VW bug, runs like a top. or my trusty Bell System black dial desk phone, best sound, best ringer. and I CAN’T push “two” for spanish on it!!

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

I’m lucky to get a year out of an electric coffee maker...
