Those Sunbeam glass toasters are the coolest toasters EVER! They are everything that is good about mid-mod design.
And the Swing-a-Way can opener? It’s a pink 50’s AT-AT! SO in love…
Jeanne says
Love looking thru all of these photos! I’m loving those Sunbeam glass toasters from the 60s featured in a couple photos. I’ve never seen one before. I want one!
And I really want one of those Danish Modern electric food warmers/hot plate. My girlfriend uses one at our monthly Euchre night that was her mothers.
wendy says
Jeanne, the glass toasters are on ebay often, just do some research so you don’t pay too much. prices vary widely. As for the food warmers, you can find them pretty regularly at garage sales, estate sales, goodwill, thrift stores, etc. around here they go for $2 – $3.
Jeanne says
Thanks for the info Wendy!
Vicki says
Wendy, what is that Delta toaster you posted? Holy cow, I am in LOVE.
wendy says
the Delta toaster was posted by “the other Wendy” as I call her 🙂 we need her city so we can distinguish! I’m Wendy in St. Louis.
and I agree – that is one awesome toaster.
Rick says
I remember seeing a microwave oven shaped like Jeff’s GE rotissorie oven; slant sided controls. I believe it was a Panasonic.
Michelle says
That red percolator! *swoon*
Janet says
Not to mention the boomerang formica countertop and trim shown with the red percolator! Is that trim original? Fantastic!
Michelle says
I have orange boomerang counter tops – if you want them come and get them. Definitely NOT my style, but if you love it you’re welcome to it! lol
You can see them under my little green egg cooker.
Ruth says
Nothing in the world made popcorn like those electric poppers. I remember taking one with me to college.
wendy says
OMG Ruth! you just reminded me of something I’d long forgotten. I took one to college too. not only did we make popcorn, we used it to heat up soup too! probably not a great idea, but we were poor and starving!
Ruth says
1951 Mirro Aluminum cookie press, with original box and recipe booklet. I use it every Christmas, it’s been used every year since 1951 and works great.
Katey says
So much to envy! I turned down an amazing 1950s pale turquoise stand mixer a few weeks ago because I don’t have any counter space to display it.
I do have a cousin of the modern turquoise Cuisinart mini food processor- an immersion blender in the same color.
I also have a modern reproduction of the Sunbeam Saftylite toaster seen with Gumby & Pokey up there, too!
Anna S. Bannana says
OMG, LOVE The Starflite Toaster !!!!!!!
Sherree says
That Starflite toaster was an Ebay find; less than $30 (including shipping) and it was NOS!
Anna S. Bannana says
Oh NIIIICEEEEEEEEE Sherree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Abigail Grotke says
OMG, it just keeps getting better and better! The Roto-Broil 400 is to die for!
Diane in CO says
Isn’t it? I would be making a rotisserie chicken every other night. That is cool!
Christa C. says
I totally use all of mine ( well except for the coffee pots…I don’t drink coffee) Though some, like the hotplates, only come out at parties. And the deep fryer is the same ( it can be used as a crock pot…but frankly, the one with a removable crock is easier to deal with ( and bigger) The Toast o-later toaster maes THE BEST, most perfect toast I have ever had!
wendy says
i have always wanted a toast-o-later! the holy grail is the totally clear one – i think a salesman’s demo unit. how great would it be to own one of those?!!
