He-heh. First time I heard anything about a Toastmaster I was in my grandparent’s breakfast room waiting for my Pop-Tart to be done.

They had a cool old toaster that would slowly raise your finished product up rather than trying to eject it into space.

I have one of those. It is older than me though its cloth-wrapped cord is not definitive of that. I learned from my father that every 10 years you need to shake the crumbs from it then remove, open and lube the mechanical timer mechanism. It's then good for another decade.

Another cleaning coming up soon.

They just don't build them the way they used to.
