[La Lydia]

What a beautiful, graceful, functional object she is. They really don’t make things like this anymore. They are all “modern” and would look right at home on a space ship. I have a 1948 Sunbeam Radiant Control that was handed down, is still working, and still has the original cord. It makes wonderful toast.

Some toasters were designed elegantly. When we cleaned out the old homestead, there was on just like it still in daily use. We threw it out [ouch!] b/c the cord looked like a big hazard.

Sunbeam model T-20 automatic toaster

Beautiful chrome body with incised deco design and bakelite base. It's automatic beyond belief! No levers to push -- no popping or banging. Just drop in the bread and the Sunbeam turns on the current and lowers the bread silently. When perfectly toasted, the current turns off and the toast comes up silently.

With "Radiant Control", the toasting is always the same no matter what kind of bread you use. The heat radiated from the surface of the bread activates the exclusive thermostat. That's why you always get the same uniform golden toast you want whether the slices or moist or dry, cold or warm, thick or thin.

Very popular as wedding gifts when it debuted in 1949. Slots are a little wider than usual. Cleaned and adjusted and in very good condition.
